Summary0001753: linux documentation on website has incorrect steps to install on usb for Mac OSX
Description

On the page, http://docs.kali.org/installation/kali-linux-live-usb-install

there is an incorrect step. The Kali documentation says to use the command

diskutil unmount /dev/disk2

As explained on the Ubuntu usb installation page, you must use the command

diskutil unmountDisk /dev/diskN

to unmount a usb disk on Mac OSX.

Additional Information

Change the Mac OSX command from

diskutil unmount /dev/disk2

to

diskutil unmountDisk /dev/diskN
