Hello, I have one old pc HP (Quad Core) and try to install free nas 11.3 or any version after 9.3 it doesn't work. For my computer looks this is no bootable USB stick.
(unbuntu - latest version doesn't have this problem)

How could I overcome the problem?

Thank you.

freeBSD is very picky about hardware. the normal way around issues with hardware and freebSD is to get hardware that is compatible with freebsd.

is extremely uninformative. there is no way to even attempt to help you with just that, unlikely to get many replies.

It also helps to not post in a completely unrelated section.

It's going to be very simple... the bootloader changed between those two versions from GRUB (the same one used in ubuntu) to the FreeBSD bootloader (which is incompatible with your hardware).

You may try to find the last version of FreeNAS (maybe it was 11 or 11.1 which used GRUB as the bootloader if you need to use it with that hardware and 9.10 (probably a better option than 9.3) won't do the job.
