Firewire / USB / USB2

Although similar in theoretical maximum transfer rate, FireWire 400 tends to have the performance edge over USB 2.0 Hi-Speed in real-world uses, especially in high-bandwidth use such as external hard-drives. The newer FireWire 800 standard is twice as fast as FireWire 400 and outperforms USB 2.0 Hi-Speed both theoretically and practically.

Test if EFI is 64bit

> ioreg -l -p IODeviceTree | grep firmware-abi
    | |   "firmware-abi" = <"EFI64">

Check kernel mode (32/64 bit)

Open “System Profiler” and click “Software” and look at “64-bit Kernel and Extensions”

How to boot into 64-bit mode

Hold down the '6' and '4' keys when the Mac starts up (until the Apple log).

Always boot into 64-bit

Edit this file: 

/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist

Insert arch=x86_64 into the Kernel Flags field: 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" 
  "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

Create bootable USB from ISO/DMG

How to install from USB Stick rather than CDROM
Am using a USB Stick to install Ubuntu Server 11 on a Linux machine, 
rather than using CD-ROM. 
(Am using Mac OSX 10.6.7 to download my iso, configure USB stick, 
and then copy .iso to it)

This worked for me
- Insert 4GB USB Stick
- Open Disk Utility, Click ERASE. Format USB using MS-DOS (FAT)
- When Disk appears in Left hand column, right click and get 
  Information (note down the "Disk Identifier : eg disk6") 
- Then right click the Disk and select Unmount. (the drive still 
  shows but the disk unmounts)
- Switching to the Terminal App
- Change to superuser / root, by issuing: sudo su - (then enter your 
  password)
- Change directory to where ever your recently downloaded .iso image 
  is stored, eg: Downloads
- My file iso is called ubuntu-11.04-server-amd64.iso, (approx 
  650mb) so use the following command:

Code:
dd if=ubuntu-11.04-server-amd64.iso of=/dev/disk6 bs=8192

- This will start copying the file to the USB stick. 
- There is no "verbose" or screen "output" of what is happening. But 
  after 15mins you should see something like:


root# dd if=ubuntu-11.04-server-amd64.iso of=/dev/disk6 bs=8192
