The resulting USB drive, however, can be booted on PCs only. If attempting to make a USB drive that can be booted from a Mac, or if UNetbootin does not successfully create a bootable drive, follow the instructions below.

			To identify which drive to use from the "Drive" drop-down menu of UNetbootin, if you're uncertain which is your USB drive, open Terminal. Then run the command <code>mount</code>, and look for the line containing the name of your USB device in the <code>/Volumes</code> folder (e.g. <code>/Volumes/usbdrive</code> if your drive name is "usbdrive", as per the drive name in Finder). You will see at the start of that line the device path for your drive, which you can select from the "Drive" menu of UNetbootin.

			For example:
			<blockquote><code>/dev/disk6s1 on /Volumes/usbdrive (exfat, local, nodev, nosuid, nowness)</code></blockquote>
			In the above example you would choose "/dev/disk6s1" in the "Drive" menu of UNetbootin
