Boot from flash drive

[frankbr1]

Hello !!!

I'm new to BSDs . I've made a "live usb" using the dd command in Linux . Now I can't boot it. A boot prompt appears at startup,
I assume it looks for a certain file. I used the FreeBSD memstick.img

Any help ??? I appreciate it !

I've made a "live usb" using the dd command in Linux .

Exactly how? I'm betting you wrote the image to a partition (i.e. sda1) instead of the disk (i.e. sda) as that's a common mistake.

If you use Linux, in Linux you can find many GUI application for write images on USB.
