After Download copy macOS Installer to Applications folder

 

 

3- Using the 'createinstallmedia' command in Terminal

a- Mount .dmg created in your desktop (if you use one USB Stick, ignore this step).

b- Open Terminal, which is in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder.

c- Type or paste one of the following commands in Terminal. These assume that the installer is still in your Applications folder, and MyVolume is the name of the .dmg mounted. If it has a different name, replace MyVolume in these commands with the name of your volume, in this case is Olarila.

Greetings,

What is the best way to get the .raw image into an .iso so it can be used in Vmware Workstation?

[MaLd0n]

[ref]richwood[/ref],

hdiutil convert /path/to/example.dmg -format UDTO -o /path/to/example.iso

mv example.iso.cdr example.iso

[Elton Sousa]

Good Morning!

the Mojave MBR HFS Firmware Check Patch script is not compatible with Catalina, there is another way to create the penboot

thank you!

[MaLd0n]

[ref]Elton Sousa[/ref], sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Catalina.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Catalina

@mald0n

thanks buddy. I'll give that a go using hdiutil in macOS.

I tried renaming the raw file to dmg in Windows and then converting to iso using AnyToIso. It converted the file but Vmware won't recognize it.

Ok, so I've created an iso file using hdiutil and then copied the iso back to Windows. Vmware Workstation still won't recognize this iso file. Can anyone make the vmdk file from the beta 3 image?

Hi guys, I get an error when copying the macOS image to the terminal. Nevertheless I have recorded the image of Olarila AMD in a usb and I have started it, being without advance in the beginning. I do not know if it's because of the processor that I have a Phenom II b45 ... Thanks for the tutorial😃

Hi Daniel, still no luck, but I'm not sure if I've done the instruction very well

https://imgur.com/03cf0CQ, that is the message before my screen went off. I'm planning to get compatible external graphics, but I still want to try the onboard graphics. Hope you can take a look on my config.
