Hi Everyone,
This is my first time installing Arch, slowly getting there (I think) but I have an issue whereby I have generated a boot.efi file which I need to copy to a USB drive and then take over to OSX and copy there.
My issue is, the Arch ISO is running on a formatted USB pen, so when I copy the file as per the instructions, and take it to OSX, OSX can't read the USB Drive's format- so I can't copy the file.
I have ran the following in the root@archiso:
$ grub-mkconfig -o boot/grub/grub.cfg
$ grub-mkstandalone -o boot.efi -d usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi -O x86_64-efi --compress=xz boot/grub/grub.cfg
$ mkdir /mnt/usbdisk && mount /dev/sdb /mnt/usbdisk
$ cp boot.efi /mnt/usbdisk/
I am following the main docs and a guide here: http://zanshin.net/2015/02/05/arch-linu … tallation/
In the following video, this guy partitions the drive as FAT16 and copies the file directly from Linux (9min 20 into the video) but I don't know how to format as FAT16.

Any help/advice greatly appreciated - total newbie here.
Thank you
