Gbu Looks like you need to unmount the drive partition before issuing the command, open Diskutil select the partition then unmount icon or from reading the diskutil man page something like this should work from the command line. sudo diskutil umount /dev/disk5s2 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/191007-terminal-command-experts-help/#findComment-1292578 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Hock Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 You need to put an r in front of disk, so it would look like this for you: sudo fdisk -f boot0 -u -y /dev/rdisk5s2 Now it will work.
