The device name under OS X can be found by running disktool -l from the command line. then the dev entry will be /dev/disk# where # is the number you found running disktool. > > Which tools are needed to create an ISO image from a CDROM ? Probably the easiest is to use "disktool -l" to determine the device name of the cd (which should be automounted). then do: dd if=/dev/disk# of=image.iso Replace the disk# with the proper disk name from disktool's output.
