Determine disk number by using DiskUtil. Open DiskUtility select Harddisk and press “Command+i”.

Look for something like “Media-Identifier: diskX”, in my case it was “disk1”. Deactivate HDDs partitions, do not unmount HDD.

Write *.img to Disk:

sudo dd bs=1m if=openwrt-x86-generic-combined-ext4.img of=/dev/rdisk1

Network setup (local)

/etc/config/network:

Local Network serving ip addresses for local machines

config interface 'lan'
option ifname 'eth0'
option type 'bridge'
option proto 'static'
option netmask '255.255.255.0'
option ipaddr '192.168.0.2'
option gateway '192.168.0.1'
option dns '192.168.0.1'

Internet connection 1

config interface 'eth1'
option proto 'dhcp'

option ifname 'eth1'
option ipaddr 'XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX'

Run MacMini without a display/screen

Solution from: http://blog.nickoneill.name/headless-mac-mini-with-ubuntu.html

1. buy at least 3x 75Ω resitors - you can use any resistor from 50Ω-150Ω
2. get the DVI-VGA adapter shipped with your MacMini

Install on Server using KVM (external)

Download and extract image in corresponding folder:
