I'm trying to setup my first FreeNAS and I'm having the same problem with Windows 7 and Windows 10 blue screening just after completing the write of FreeNAS-11.2-U6.iso to a USB stick by Rufus. Whatever is in that iso is lethal -- very consistently blue screens Windows. I've tried 3 sticks by 2 different manufacturers. All same result.
I use Rufus on a regular basis to create bootable USB sticks for other iso's (clonezilla, etc.) and never had any such issues.
I used windbg.exe on Windows 7 to extract info from a .dmp file produced by one of the blue screens.
It shows an
Integer division by zero exception in Windows Partition Management Driver.

While the driver should *not* bsod under any circumstance (technically it's a Microsoft driver unhandled exception), however it would to great if this could be fixed by releasing a FreeNAS iso that doesn't do this. Also, it'd be good to warn on the FreeNAS downloads page that this iso may cause Windows 7 and Windows 10 system to blue screen when creating a USB stick. It's really unnerving.
I've been able to burn a CD this the iso image without issue.
