The .iso file is designed to be used for optical media (CD and DVD). For USB sticks, use the .img (memstick) file from the download section. ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/ISO-IMAGES/9.1/ FreeBSD-9.1-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img will be the correct file which you can easily dd onto the USB stick. But maybe this will help you will the file you already have: http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=30136 -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Do you want to install onto USB, or do you want to install from USB? If you want to install from USB, you could download the memstick image and write to USB stick (raw device) with dd. Directory ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/amd64/ISO-IMAGES/9.2/ includes a memstick image, FreeBSD-9.2-BETA1-amd64-memstick.img or you can stay with 9.1_RELEASE if you prefer, but get the memstick.img instead of disc1.iso . I have never used Ubuntu, but dd should be a standard part of most any Linux distro.

This is a CD-ROM image. Please try again using the 'memstick' image instead, whicih should be available in the same place you for the ISO image for the CD-based installation and have a name like this: FreeBSD-9.1-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img This should be bootable if you copy it directly to a USB stick with at least 733 MB of disk space. You can use plain dd(1) from your Ubuntu installation to do that: sudo dd if=FreeBSD-9.1-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img of=/dev/sdc Just replace /dev/sdc with the name of your USB stick's device. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
