Hi,

I burned FreeNAS-9.3-STABLE-201509022158.iso on a USB Drive (SANDISK CRUZER FIT USB FLASH DRIVE 16 GB). I see it in the BIOS, I can boot from it, but when I'm on the "Select a drive" screen, I cannot see it.

I tried with another USB drive I have (Kingston 8gb) and there's no problem, I see the drive in the menu (haven't gone farther than this with the install, I want to use the 16GB drive).

Have you experienced this issue?

Thanks

Are you saying you're trying to install to the same drive the installer is running from? You need two different drives for the install, one to boot from and another to install to. Try putting the iso on the Kingston drive to boot from, and then you should be able to install to the SanDisk.
