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

Topics about unsupported FreeBSD versions

We have specific images for memory sticks. The ISO images are for CD/DVD only.

SirDice,

Appreciate.
What tool would recommend to flash a bootable FreeBSD12 .img image to USB drive ?

Sincerely,

This is a popular tool for image burning:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/

Here are the FreeBSD12 downloads:
https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/snapshots/amd64/amd64/ISO-IMAGES/12.0/

Use the newest memstick version:
https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/sn...0-CURRENT-amd64-20171220-r327038-memstick.img

I assume you have a specific need for -CURRENT
It is a testing version so things could be very bumpy.

Customer requires porting to FreeBSD 12 support for our add on card.

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.
