      Hello,

      For those trying to make a USB installer on Mac OS 10 (at least 10.9 & 10.10), there's a missing 'sudo ' in the instructions at https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Writing_Disk_Images.

      The correct example line (depending on your disk device) should read "gzcat pfSense-memstick-2.2.3-RELEASE-amd64.img.gz | sudo dd of=/dev/disk3 bs=16k"

      Thanks,
      Frank
