Writing a m0n0wall img using Mac OS X

Plug in your CF reader with CF card inserted

If OS X pops up a message saying that the card could not be read, click Ignore.

Open Disk Utility

Select any Partitions of your CF Card that are mounted, and click the unmount button. The partitions should now appear greyed out.

Select your CF Card Reader in the left-hand column, and click the Info button

Note the ‘Disk Identifier’: e.g. ‘disk1?

Open Terminal

cd to the directory containing the m0n0wall image

Use this command:

gzcat net45xx-1.xx.img | dd of=/dev/disk[n] bs=16k

NOTE: Before carrying out this procedure it is recommended that you disconnect all disks except for your startup disk, as an error in specifying the drive to be written to could cause data loss.
