Not picking up USB key

[Phoenixgg]

When I boot freenas 8.0.4 from my cd it boots into the installation menu. When I select option 1 to start installing, It lists all three hard drive (2TB Sata). It does not show my 8GB USB flash drive. The USB key does show in the bios. What can I do to pick up the USB key to install onto it.

FWIW, I just downloaded the usb memory stick image, and copied it to a memory stick like so:

Code:

xzcat FreeNAS-8.0.3-RELEASE-x64.Full_Install.xz | dd of=/dev/da4 bs=64k

Note: you need to replace /dev/da4 with whatever device name your usb memory stick is detected as, and you must use the correct anem of the file.

Then simply, inser the memeory stick into your FreeNAS machine, boot from it, and you are ready to go.

Hi

I moved the USB stick to one of the USB 2 ports and it installed successfully. I will need to look into whether or not the Motherboard allows me to boot through USB 3
