    Hi Aik Eu,

    Thank you for all your help.

    Your quick responses helped me focis on my issue.

    So in working to validate the SD card I wrote, I found my problem.

    I had been writing to the wrong device with my dd commands.

    I was writing to a sub-partition of the device rather than the primary device:

    /dev/disk7s1 instead of the correct device: /dev/disk7

    I can now boot Linux and move on!

    Thanks again Martin
