Take the 2-minute tour ×  I'm trying to install Arch on a flash
drive. To do so, I'm trying to first get a bootable, "live"
version of Arch on the flash drive I'm going to install it on
later.  I've followed the instructions here to the letter, but
for some reason, the Mac's bootloader doesn't recognize the
flash drive at all, and it's not showing up on my desktop as an
external storage device.  It does, however, show up in Disk
Utility, and when I run diskutil list in the terminal. Attempts
to mountDisk are failing repeatedly, both from the terminal and
GUI disk utilities.  To clarify: I'm able to mount the disk (as
in, /dev/disk2, but not the logical volume, i.e. disk2s2, which
contains Archboot).  This, in turn, prevents the bootloader from
detecting the flash drive as a bootable volume.  I have already
asked this question on Ask Different, but it doesn't seem likely
that I'll get much help with it there.  Has anyone else here had
this issue? How did you fix it?  share|improve this question
