# HOWTO: Burn FreeBSD 10.2 memdisk to USB using Apple Mac Computer
# By: Bartlomiej Mika
(1) Download the image to your ~/Downloads folder
(2) Check to see what USB disk to use
df -h
You should be able to find the USB disk which you will be using. In my case, it was "disk1".
(3) Unmount the disk
sudo diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk1
(4) Change directory into the ~/Download folder and begin burning
cd ~/Downloads
sudo dd if=/Users/bartlomiejmika/Downloads/FreeBSD-10.2-RELEASE-amd64-uefi-memstick.img of=/dev/disk1 bs=10240 conv=sync
