SOLVED Cannot boot from install USB

[victorbrca]

So I have FreeNAS 9.3 running on a USB drive, and I'm trying to do a new and fresh install of v11, but I cannot get it to boot the installer. If I choose UEFI boot I get the grub rescue screen, and if I boot using legacy I get the "Reboot and select proper boot device" prompt. The checksum for my downloaded media checks.

I have tried:
- Different USB drives
- Writing using 3.0 and 2.0 USB ports
- Booting from 2.0 and 3.0 ports
- Completely disabling legacy and completely disabling UEFI on the BIOS
- Disabling XHCI mode and XHCI hand-off on the BIOS
- Writing the media on another machine (both are Arch Linux and I'm using dd - sudo dd if=FreeNAS-11.1-U5.iso of=/dev/sdj1 bs=64k status=progress oflag=sync)

I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, or missing something, but I can't figure out what.

Hardware

Code:

Motherboard: Gigabyte H87N-WIFI
CPU: Intel® Pentium® Processor G3430
MeM: 16GB
Hardisks: WD RED 3TB
Controler: Motherboard
Network card: Motherboard

Thanks,
Victor.

Sorry... I was doing too many things at the same time and forgot to add the hardware specs.

Oh man... I'm so stupid.
