Well sure, but it's just a couple of messages earlier than these ones with the same subject, so I'm wondering why you missed it? http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2014-September/261025.html Use the [thread] link from there to see if you missed any others? > Also, I'll be glad to hear if you succeeded to boot the 'img' file > which you've created with the above script from an USB stick. Sure; I used this to make a 10.0-RELEASE-amd64-dvd1-memstick.img which booted and installed fine, modulo the packages issue mentioned; after that I installed 9.2-RELEASE-amd64-dvd1-memstick.img on a Thinkpad X200, including the DVD packages as 9.2-R still used the old pkg_add tools. In case not obvious, you still need to dd the .img to the memstick :) cheers, Ian
