After trying for hours, I'm still unable to create a bootable USB on macOS Catalina. I'm trying to boot into a Manjaro session. Steps I've taken.
- Download Manjaro iso.
- Format USB to FAT32 with GUID Partition scheme (I used Disk Utility here)
- Unmount USB.
- Run command:
sudo dd if=./manjaro-kde-18.1.4-191210-linux54.iso of=/dev/disk2 bs=1m
where /dev/disk2 is the USB
After this, the output of diskutil list disk2
is:
/dev/disk2 (external, physical):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: FDisk_partition_scheme *30.8 GB disk2
1: 0xEF 4.2 MB disk2s2
Furthermore, Disk Utility reports that the USB is not bootable. When I restart the Macbook to select the startup disk, the USB doesn't show up. I tried using Balena Etcher, but the results are the same. I also tried using another Linux iso, but again, the results are the same.
Is the process I'm going through wrong or outdated? I can't find any other methods online.
EDIT: This is all the information from Disk Utility after burning the iso.
