FreeBSD-13.0-RC1-amd64-disc1.iso unbootable on memstick
Glen, Things get worse... I could at least boot the BETA4 .iso when I wrote it to a memstick. I can NOT boot the RC1. I have checked the sha512 of my image, wrote it twice, same results, I get: CD Loader 1.2 Bulding the boot loader arguments Looking up /BOOT/LOADER... File not found Looking up /boot/loader... File not found Boot failed I have tried 2 different systems, all known to have booted and installed many many many FreeBSD's from prior .iso written to memstick.

Hi. Are you shure you're using *.memstick.img? *.iso are for optical drives. If your memstick can perfectly (or at least enough for CD loader and kernel) mimic optical drive, maybe with help by firmware, it would be able to boot. Otherwise, you should write FreeBSD-13.0-RC1-*-memstick.img with dd. If you are using enough-sized memstick and amd64 arch PC, FreeBSD-13.0-RC1-amd64-mrmstick.img should be preferred. Note that if you downloaded smaller xz compressed image, you shoule decompress it before writing. If you are using *-memstick.img, something should need fixed.
