Try another USB disk and even try miniroot60.fs. Some sandisk parts are known to have boot issues.

When you successfully booted the FreeBSD installer from a USB key, was it the same key? Did you prepare it the same way (using dd in cygwin)? On Sat, Jan 14, 2017 at 9:05 AM, Cinolt Yuklair wrote: > Thanks for the reply and apologies for the lack of information -- I > will provide more detail. >

Jay, I just flashed by BIOS to the latest version on the GIGABYTE website, but still the same error. On a side note, I'm going to experiment with "dd"ing the install60.fs file into a partition directly from Windows, avoiding USB's and CD's altogether, and see if I can't boot that way. On Sat, Jan

The computer I want to install on does not have a CD/DVD drive, but has USB 2.0 ports. I have a 16GiB SanDisk USB 3.0, which I have tried formatting with both "dd" and the Windows utility Rufus, using the file install60.fs. When I attempt to boot install60.fs, the BIOS recognizes that it wants to
