Freeze when choosing device to install FreeNAS on

[TheQuackiest]

I have FreeNAS installed on a USB, and it boots the loader fin, and opens the menu. I can navigate the menu to choose which device to install it on. I choose the device by pressing space like it tells me to, and it just freezes. I unplug the keyboard and plug it back in and the keyboard won't even light up now. Still no response. I've been trying to write it to different devices for days and I get the same issue.

Well, it appears as though I have made progress. I used Rufus to write to the USB in DD mode using FreeNAS 11.1 (I think) and it appears to have installed
Waiting on boot now
