Edit ISOLINUX.CFG to set the partition to boot from, as follows: Copy all files and folder from ESXi iso to the USB stick: fmbp16:~ root# cp -R /Volumes/ESXI-7.0B-16324942-STANDARD/* /Volumes/ESXi/įmbp16:~ root# 4.

The tool did warned me when I have selected the ESXi iso. In my situation, I was using balenaEtcher but even if it was successful, the USB stick was not bootable. If you have Homebrew or MacPorts, you can get a progress bar by installing the 'pv' command and using that instead of 'cat'.Short and sweet: you need to create a bootable ESXi USB stick and the 'normal' method was not doing it. No progress is shown while writing this way. You will be prompted for the administrator's password. r is for raw disk, as writing to /dev/rdisk2 is much faster than writing to /dev/disk2. dev/rdiskN is the same disk you have found previously, with an r in front. # sudo sh -c 'cat /path/to/downloaded.iso > /dev/rdiskN' Where /dev/diskN is the one you have found in previous step as per our example it would be '/dev/disk2'. In this case '/dev/disk2' is the one we want. Then note the corresponding /dev/diskN, where 'N' is for index of your disk. This will print out the list of currently mapped devices/partitions. Plug-in your USB stick and find what '/dev/diskN' it is mapped to by opening Terminal (where 'N' stands for 'disk0', 'disk1', 'disk2' etc). It now contains a bootable openSUSE installation media. The process of burning can last from 1 to up to 30 minutes depending on your drive and on the iso file. The drive can be reformatted and used as a normal drive again after the setup is finished. Warning: All data on the drive will be destroyed.
