I have seen some BIOS that would only boot from a USB key in that case after a BIOS update and some option twiddling (though I don't recall what). We have also seen that some embedded devices require booting in packet mode or nopacket mode, depending on the BIOS it could be one or the other. This can be changed, but required plugging the device into another FreeBSD box or another pfSense box and running: boot0cfg -o packet /dev/da0 Where packet can also be nopacket, and /dev/da0 is the full path to the USB device as seen by the OS (check dmesg). I don't recall what the RC1 images are, but the current nanobsd snapshots should be using packet mode. Before doing much else, I'd also try a more recent snapshot than RC1.
