Try with a 2 GB USB, the sizes of 1 Gb sticks do vary (I used an old
PN.Y 1 GB Stick) Yours could be slightly too small?
I have used this SoaS-15-1-EFI.img with 3 different brands and sizes of
sticks after downloading a copy....
also look at:

Not all Mac's will work with an f16 EFI boot USB
My MacBook Pro is a i7 SandyBridge Model
My Smolt Mac
Profile:http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_3947102b-ca8d-49f6-9a2d-d1ab91b74448
The stick does not run on my MacBook Air even after a nomodeset is added
to the boot line.
Various Models of Mac's seem to be all different...: (

Same thing. image-writer-mac is nothing but a wrapper around dd preventing
accidental writes to a non-USB drive.

Do it from Terminal. Not image-writer-mac !
This is a 1 GB USB that was imaged with dd.

I know it requires using the terminal, but these 2 Soas-v5-Coconut .img files
may be the easiest way to build a number of booting SoaS USB sticks for your
presentation.
The instructions (actual screen shots of terminal of the writing to the USB's
are included in these pages)
The command in terminal can be repeated for each new USB that is inserted
Note that the EFI 1 GB USB is written in less than 4 minutes.

2-) Macbook EFI Boot:

Just be sure to enter "mount" in terminal to see the device name for your USB
ie: /dev/sdb; /dev/sdc; /dev/sdc...... It is VERY IMPORTANT to have this set correctly.

I tried the Mac EFI one. Used the image-writer-mac (*) script to dd it onto the
stick.
It booted my MacBook Pro, I saw the 10 second Fedora pre-boot count down, but
after that I just got a blank screen.

(*) I have a minor update at
http://git.sugarlabs.org/image-writer
Could someone with SoaS write permissions replace this on the release server?

Thanks!
[converting this into an AppleScript would be the simplest to avoid having to
use the Terminal]
