I've got a problem with a friend's PC: I'm installing a FreeBSD server and to make easier the installation for my friend I'm using the PC-BSD DVD. Surprise! The CD reader doesn't read DVDs, so I'm using a USB stick to perform the install. The PC seems supporting USB boot because I can choose it in the boot sequence, but the PC-BSD installation doesn't start, booting the OS installed in the primary HD.

I have not physic access to the PC and I can't have at the moment more informations. What do you think about?

Thanks and sorry for my terrible English.

Tancredi Orlando.

How did you get the install onto the USB-stick?

Use unetbootin
http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/

Format and install the latest FreeBSD they offer, and then extract your ISO, which you used to burn the install DVD, onto the thumb-drive's root.

that worked for me. let me know if you have other questions
