(Create a bootable installer) The volume could not be found
Dan, MacBook Air / Big Sur
Use the 'createinstallmedia' command in Terminal to create a bootable installer.
After I confirmed the mounting of (USB)Kioxia16 using the command “diskutil list” in Terminal, I used the
'createinstallmedia' command 2 times and each time with different option (-) and (--) before “volume /Volumes/MyVolume” and received the below answers for each option. Finally, I could not continue. Please kindly advise.
1. createinstallmedia -volume /Volumes/Kioxia16
Terminal: “The volume could not be found
2. createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Kioxia16
Terminal: createinstallmedia: invalid option -- ?
Usage: createinstallmedia --volume <path to volume to convert>
Arguments
--Volume, A path to a volume that can be unmounted and erased to create the install media.
--nointeraction, Erase the disk pointed to by volume without prompting for confirmation.
--downloadassets, Download on-demand assets that may be required for installation.
Example: createinstallmedia –volume /Volumes/Untitled
