install image changes after reboot?

OK, first off I am doing this from a linux installation. I dd the 14.1 DVD iso to my nvme drive
Code:
sudo dd if=FreeBSD-14.1-RELEASE-amd64-dvd1.iso of=/dev/nvme1n1 status=progress
then check the drive to see if it was successful
Code:
</dev/nvme1n1 head -c 4588224512 | cmp -l FreeBSD-14.1-RELEASE-amd64-dvd1.iso
This works.

Then I reboot into the installer. After it loads, reboot back into Linux.

run
Code:
</dev/nvme1n1 head -c 4588224512 | cmp -l FreeBSD-14.1-RELEASE-amd64-dvd1.iso
again and its different
Code:
