How create bootable FreeBSD USB in windows for FreeBSD-12.0-CURRENT-i386-20171213-r326820-disc1 ?

Sir/Madam,

How create bootable FreeBSD USB in windows for FreeBSD-12.0-CURRENT-i386-20171213-r326820-disc1?

Rufus reports: "This version of Rufus only supports bootable ISOs based on bootmgr/WinPE, isolinux or EFI. This ISO dosn't appear to use either..."

Sincerely,
Liu Wang

Fasery this thread is more than a year old, 12.0-CURRENT doesn't even exist any more. Please don't resurrect old posts.
 
We don't close threads, only if they start going out of control. Resurrecting old threads is fine, if you actually have something meaningful to add.
 
We have specific images for memory sticks. The ISO images are for CD/DVD only.
This has honestly been the biggest setback in history. It's so unclear that cd/dvd versions don't run on USB sticks. Question, though. Can memstick versions be made so that they don't have to download anything for installs? I know mini-memstick version requires internet downloads during install, I am going to try the regular memstick version now, but I suspect it's still going to ask me to download stuff during the install.

Ok, memstick version (not mini-memstick) didn't ask me to download anything additional. It does, however, not include basic basic stuff like `nano` or `sudo`. So sad. But can live with that.
