Now that Apple has released their Golden Master seed of OS X Mavericks to developers, the public release could happen at practically any time! With the Golden Master – which represents the final build that Apple will release publicly in the Mac App Store – Apple has changed the necessary steps required to build a fully functional bootable USB installer for the preview.
A USB install disc can be an important tool to quickly and easily install a fresh copy on your Mac, without first having to install OS X Mountain Lion and then upgrade using the Mac App Store method. Since Apple has changed a few things since their first developer preview, we’ve got a new method for creating a USB install disc also – and this one should work for many versions of OS X to come.
Note: While the old method still technically works, it will not install a Recovery Partition, whereas this new method will. Before you proceed, please note that you will need a flash drive at least 8GB in size or larger.
Here’s how to make it work, courtesy of some helpful instructions from MacRumors forum member tywebb13:
Your 8 GB USB drive should be called Untitled and formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). The installer should be called Install OS X Mavericks.app and should be in your Applications folder.
Run this in terminal and wait about 20 minutes:
sudo /Applications/Install OS X Mavericks.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia –volume /Volumes/Untitled –applicationpath /Applications/Install OS X Mavericks.app –nointeraction
You should see something like this:
Erasing Disk: 0%… 10%… 20%… 100%…
Copying installer files to disk… Copy complete. Making disk bootable… Copying boot files… Copy complete. Done.
Patience is key. The process can take up to 20-30 minutes to finish, even though Terminal may not look like it is doing anything. Make sure to wait until you see the “Done.” prompt before exiting Terminal or interrupting the process.
That’s all there is to it! For reference, the original method of creating a USB boot drive can also be found below.
MacRumors forum member Dalton63841 shares the details over at the MacRumors OS X Mavericks forum:
1. Show hidden files by opening /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app and typing the following:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
2. Right click Installer.app file and click Show Package Contents, Open Contents folder, then look in SharedSupport folder. You will see InstallESD.dmg.
3. Mount InstallESD.dmg. 4. Copy the BaseSystem.dmg file out to somewhere convenient. 5. Do not mount BaseSystem.dmg. Just open Disk Utility and restore it to a flash drive. 6. When that’s done look in the flash drive you just restored to and go to /System/Installation/. In that folder you will see a white icon with an arrow called Packages. That’s a broken alias. Delete it. 7. Now go back to your InstallESD.dmg file. Inside is a folder weighing in at about 4.5GB called Packages. Copy that folder onto the flash drive in place of where the alias was. 8. Go ahead and hide the hidden folders again by going back to the Terminal and typing: defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE
9. Done. Boot from the flash drive and get to work.
As per usual, don’t blame me if you screw up.

Volumes Os X Install Esd Basesystem Dmg 2
UPDATE for anybody with authentic Mac hardware and a license for Mavericks, there is a much simpler method for upgrading the hard drive:
Volumes Os X Install Esd Base System Dmg 1
Ultimately, I ended-up waiting until I had Internet access and using the much simpler method of booting from Internet-based recovery, as described in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5507912?tstart=0 (which references https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201314 ).

This enabled me to restore the OS on the new hard drive from a Time Machine backup that I captured before upgrading the hard drive.
For the back-story:
I had the need to upgrade the hard disk in a friend's Macbook Pro (mid-2012), which is still running Mavericks, and I wasn't going to have an Internet connection, so I trawled the Internet for hours trying to find this information and finally stumbled upon https://apple.stackexchange.com/a/132613/183884 which in turn lead me to the comment at https://www.marekbell.com/how-to-create-a-bootable-installation-for-os-x-mavericks-10-9-and-above/#comment-1488722562 .
My plan was to backup to a portable disk using Time Machine from within the existing OS installation, physically install the new (bare) drive, and
Restore from Backup (Time Machine) once booted from the Install/Recovery environment (running from a bootable DVD).
I was amazed to find that this procedure still 'works' on an up-to-date Mavericks installation (and by 'works', I mean to say, produces a bootable ISO image).
Unfortunately, even though I'm able to boot from the burned ISO, I can't install Mac OS once booted into the GUI. Perhaps I have a 'bad burn'. I receive an error once the UI loads, conveyed by way of a dialog (the only choice is
OK ): There was a problem installing Mac OS. Try reinstalling. All menus and options are disabled, aside from Restart/Shutdown.
A couple of notes from my experience (in case anybody from some 'Mac Museum' has interest in the future):
Even though it didn't bail me out, thank you for posting this!
