Hello, I am new to the forum and to FreeNAS but I have been reading on the forums and the FreeNAS manual for a few months now.
I have downloaded both:
FreeNAS 9.10 - Stable-201606270534
AND
FreeNAS 10-Master-201607171001-8da7f12.
The problem I am having is in trying to create a bootable USB for FreeNAS 9.10 or FreeNAS 10.
I have used 2 different USB drives and both are giving me troubles. First was a Samsung USB 3.0 Flash Drive FIT 32 GB, the second was a Silicon Power USB 3.0 16GB.
When I try to use Rufus and choose the "GPT partition scheme for UEFI" which if I have understood all of the reading correctly, FreeNAS uses the GPT partition scheme from 9.3 onward, i get the error "When using UEFI Target Type, only EFI bootable ISO images are supported. Please select an EFI bootable ISO or set the Target Type to BIOS." I can create an MBR partition scheme just fine, but I have read multiple places that FreeNAS will not install with an MBR partition scheme any longer.
I have also tried to use the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool (The preferred method in the FreeNAS 9.10 guide!) and it does not even allow me to go to Step 2. It errors after I have chosen the FreeNAS iso file and clicked next. The error is "The selected file is not a valid ISO file. Please select a valid ISO file and try again."
Can anyone help shed some light on what is going on? Or what I am doing wrong?
Thanks,
SR
