If you get error:
dd: /dev/adN: Operation not permitted
(wherei N is drive number) this is happening because you are blocked by GEOM's
protection for the MBR of the disk drive. To solve this turn the protection off with a
sysctl variable change from console:
sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=0x10
Code: Select all
sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=0x10
dd if=GhostBSD11.1-ALPHA1-20170808-061618-mate-amd64.iso of=/dev/da5 bs=1m
