Shamus, I use a script on OS X, after sanity checking for the img.gz file (IMAGEFILE) and the diskN (DISK), the core is as follows: (Note: I have only used this on OS X 10.6.x and earlier.) -- begin snippet -- diskutil unmountDisk $DISK
echo echo "Erasing /dev/$DISK..." if ! diskutil zeroDisk $DISK; then exit 1 fi echo echo "Writing \"$IMAGEFILE\" to /dev/$DISK" echo "This may take a long time..." gzcat "$IMAGEFILE" | dd of=/dev/$DISK echo if diskutil eject $DISK; then echo "You can safely remove your $DISK." fi -- end -- No sudo is necessary. Lonnie PS: What does your console say when it "hangs"?
