FreeBSD installation does not run

[Amsbred]

Hello,
Please I need help because I've trouble installing FreeBSD. I should draw your attention to the fact that:

1. The file image used is FreeBSD-10.1-RC3-amd64-disc1.iso
2. Boot Media used is USB Disk Drive.
3. The image is written to drive by using LinuxLive USB Creator

Below the message seen while booting:

Grub4dos 0.4.4 2009-06-20. Memory: 619K/ 2006M
MenuEnd: 0x48C54
[Minimal BASH-LIKE line editing is supported] For the first word. TAB lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists the possible completions of a device/ filename.

grub>

All my thanks for your help

Not totally helpful, but you probably don't want to install the release candidate for 10.1. FreeBSD-10.1-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso is the final release of 10.1. As far as making a bootable USB stick I've never used LinuxLive, but from OS X you can follow the instructions at http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx. Thats how I did my first FreeBSD install. I have used Unetbootin http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ for installing Linux images and it appears to support FreeBSD.

If you're going to use a memory stick, use the *.img files. That's what they are for. You don't need any of the Linux tools to convert an ISO to a memory stick image. They're not going to work.

And, as bra1n mentioned, use the release not an old release candidate.

Many thanks both SirDice and bra1n.
Actually as SirDice mentioned, I had to use a memory stick image. The problem is solved by following steps:

1. Get the file FreeBSD-10.1-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img
2. Write image file on the USB key by using Win32 Disk Image
