![]() ![]() When its done copying, Eject it safely and you should be good to go. (which both macs and PCs can read) and that its big enough, then just plug the formatted usb drive in, and drag n drop the iso onto the usb drive when it shows up. I'm investigating using cdrecord now, and if that proves successful I'll post results here. Just Make sure its formatted as either EXFat or Fat32. Incidentally, I don't have Roxio Toast, and I would prefer solutions that do not involve buying it or other commercial packages. I'd be very much obliged for any suggestions on how to burn a bootable OpenBSD 4.7 image from Mac OS X - or feedback and suggestions on what may be the problem. The target machine seems to be able to read the image fine once it boots into the currently installed operating system (i.e. I've tried burning several CD's, however, which I'd expect to eliminate error. The BIOS from this machine certainly indicates that it can boot from CD, but it consistently displays the messages "Non-system disk or disk error.". The target machine is the only machine that I can test the boot-ability of the burnt CD is a Compaq Presario 5320CA (circa 2001). That being said, I'm not certain the problem is with the burning process. ![]() As none of those attempts have proven successful, I won't repeat the details here. copying the files, creating a read-only image from the contents of the ISO, etc.), and then burning those. ![]() I've tried both methods of burning the ISO. I am downloading the images (install47.iso, cd47.iso and cdemu47.iso), and trying to burn them with Disk Utility, which I presume is the same as the Finder "Burn" command when you right-click on an ISO image. I suspect the problem lies with the burning process with Mac OS X. Unfortunately, the expected route to success, download + burn with Mac OS X, does not result what seems to be a bootable CD. I'm trying to make a bootable OpenBSD CD image on Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6).
