# HOWTO: Make bootable USB stick from ISO on OSX 
# determine /dev/diskN name of USB stick (e.g. /dev/disk2) 
diskutil list

hdiutil convert -format UDRW -o image image.iso 

# unmount (don't eject!) usb stick 
diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk2 

# don't f*** up device name in next step or your disk will be toast

diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk2
