Usually an SD/CF-card used for real Amigas has to have the RDB (Rigid Disk Block) partitioning scheme. With this you define partitions for your Amiga volumes stored on this card. The RDB is not detected by OS X and therefore gives only a very brief list for such devices in diskutil:
Code:
/dev/disk1
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: *1.0 GB disk1
OS X even suggests to initialize this volume with a "proper" partition scheme/file system
So please ignore these dialogs...
(Sidenote: With FS-UAE you might also store a raw HDF (i.e. only a file system of a single volume) on the SD-Card (without any partitioning scheme!) and use this in FS-UAE but that disk won't work on a real machine and is somewhat pointless...)
For creating a RDB paritioning scheme on OS X (and other OSes as well) I use (my own)
rdbtool:
Example:
Code:
sudo ./rdbtool /dev/disk1 init + add size=50% bootable + add
Creates two volumes DH0 and DH1 with 50% size each.
You can then use FS-UAE to format and fill the volumes inside the emulator.
... or use
xdftool to copy Amiga files directly from OSX:
Example:
Code:
sudo ./xdftool /dev/disk1 open part=DH0 + repack myhdf.hdf
This copies the whole volume hdf image into the first partition on SD card...
Thats the way I use to quickly setup cards for real Amigas on my OS X console.
