Mac OS X

Tested on 10.4.8 and later. It is recommended that you disconnect all disks except for your startup disk before carrying out this procedure, as an error in specifying the drive to be written to could cause data loss.

  • Plug in your CF reader with CF card inserted
  • If OS X pops up a message saying that the card could not be read, click Ignore.
  • Open Disk Utility
  • Select any Partitions of your CF Card that are mounted, and click the unmount button. The partitions should now appear greyed out.
  • Select your CF Card Reader in the left-hand column, and click the Info button
  • Note the ‘Disk Identifier’: e.g. ‘disk1′
  • Open Terminal
  • cd to the directory containing the m0n0wall image
  • Use this command:
cat net45xx-1.22.img | dd of=/dev/disk[n] bs=16k

NB: disk[n] is the Disk Identifier found above
