I have followed the instructions from various posts at the forum and I when I execute in the terminal

sudo dd if=/path/to/downloaded.img of=/dev/rdiskN bs=1m

then it requires the password but instead it does not let me type the password. If i press enter then the same thing until I repeat it three times which will require me to execute the above command again. Anyone knows why and how to solve it?

Ok just to let you know I found the mistake. In the sudo line I did not specify the exact name of the usb and for some reason it was asking me for password which was basically useless as I said above.

I repeated the process with no mistakes and finally created the usb boot stick.
