      Edit:

      So…I have no idea what i'm doing.

      I have downloaded all the images from the PfSense site, from nano to full, i386 to amd64.

      Most of them crap out at:
      drive 0x000f2520: PCHS=0/0/0 translation=lba LCHS=1024/32/63 s=2076672         
      Space available for UMB: c0000-ee800, f0000-f2520                             
      Returned 253952 bytes of ZoneHigh                                             
      e820 map has 7 items:                                                         
        0: 0000000000000000 - 000000000009fc00 = 1 RAM                               
        1: 000000000009fc00 - 00000000000a0000 = 2 RESERVED                         
        2: 00000000000f0000 - 0000000000100000 = 2 RESERVED                         
        3: 0000000000100000 - 00000000df14e000 = 1 RAM                               
        4: 00000000df14e000 - 00000000e0000000 = 2 RESERVED                         
        5: 00000000f8000000 - 00000000f9000000 = 2 RESERVED                         
        6: 0000000100000000 - 000000011f000000 = 1 RAM                               
      enter handle_19:                                                               
        NULL                                                                         
      Booting from Hard Disk...                                                     
      Booting from 0000:7c00

      I have 1 image <nano 1gb="">That gives me the choice on the bootup:

      Booting from Hard Disk...
      1 PfSense
      2 PfSense

      I select either, and I get '/' (it used to spin when I was doing this on a 386board.

      I'm at a loss as to what i'm doing wrong and would really  like some guidance. 
      Does it matter size of Flash Drive?  I'm using a 2gb USB Flash...

      What I'm doing:
      Plug Jump Drive in.
      dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb
      let that run
      format
      dd if=/Pfsenseimagetoburn of=/dev/sdb bs=16k

      I know the writting of zero's is not nescassary....</nano>

        Issue is resolved.

        It was user error…..Make sure your connection speed is 9600 and not the apu default.
