I did that on our MacBook Pro:

• A USB stick installed using dd is not seen as a bootable device.
• A DVD is seen as a bootable device. Tails starts with syslinux.
• A USB stick installed using Tails Installer is seen as a bootable device.

I’m not exactly sure why we created this ticket (probably at the installation sprint)…

intrigeri: Do you remember better than me? :)

I assume we created this ticket in order to have more options for Bug #15025: we’ve closed that ticket with a commit that suggests installing from Windows, but some macOS users have access to a DVD writer more easily than to a Windows system.

Excellent! Thanks for the tip and sorry for using you as my external memory sometimes :)

I reopened Bug #15025 to add an alternative to use a DVD on macOS.
