Hi,
i'm trying to install the new Kali 1.0.8 to an usbstick so i can boot it on my macbook pro (late 2011). And I guess I need efi support for that, and Kali 1.0.8 should support EFI.
So i feel a bit silly asking this, but it seems to me that the image doesn't have a GUID partition scheme? I guess i have made some silly error somewhere and i hope some of you could point me in the right direction.
I downloaded the amd 64bit 1.0.8 image from the download area ( http://cdimage.kali.org/kali-1.0.8/k....0.8-amd64.iso )
checked the checksum
Code:
sptz-mbp:Downloads sptz$ shasum kali-linux-1.0.8-amd64.iso
939cc7bbc42b598d6c8f359fd1bfe2a919de8ed0 kali-linux-1.0.8-amd64.iso
connected a GUID formated usbstick
Code:
sptz-mbp:~ sptz$ diskutil list
/dev/disk0
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *128.0 GB disk0
1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk0s1
2: Apple_HFS Samsung SSD 127.2 GB disk0s2
3: Apple_Boot Recovery HD 650.0 MB disk0s3
/dev/disk1
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *15.5 GB disk1
sptz-mbp:~ sptz$
And dd the image to the usbstick
Code:
sptz-mbp:Downloads sptz$ sudo dd if=kali-linux-1.0.8-amd64.iso of=/dev/disk1 bs=512k
Password:
5886+1 records in
5886+1 records out
but when i checked the image was unusable.
Code:
sptz-mbp:~ sptz$ diskutil list
/dev/disk0
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *128.0 GB disk0
1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk0s1
2: Apple_HFS Samsung SSD 127.2 GB disk0s2
3: Apple_Boot Recovery HD 650.0 MB disk0s3
/dev/disk1
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: FDisk_partition_scheme *15.5 GB disk1
1: 0x17 3.0 GB disk1s1
2: DOS_FAT_12 NO NAME 64.5 MB disk1s2
sptz-mbp:~ sptz$
will i have to partition the usbstick myself first and then dd the image to one of the partitions? I guess i'm not the first one with this problem so if i have missed an obvious post please point me in the right direction.
