Invalid Partition Table error when installing pfsence 2.4.4.p1

I'm installing pfsense 2.4.4.p1 using the USB memstick installer on an Intel Desktop Board E210882.

BIOS: MOPNV10N.86A.0158.2009.1126.1712
Processor: Intel Atom CPU D410 @ 1.66GHz
System Memory Speed: 667 MHz
L2 Cache RAM: 512 KB
Total Memory: 1024 MB

How can I get pfsense installed on this computer and get past this error? Any suggestions will be appreciated. I am a noobie teaching myself being a network admin.

Thank for the reply @Grimson. I looked over all of the information that you have sent me, but I am stumped on how to edit the boot portion of the memstick. I don't have a FreeBSD or another pfSense box, so I created a virtual instance using VMware. What I am struggling with is how to view the system log to find the device name of the device and when I can, how to use the commands that are shown in the example since the shell does not support them. Getting frustrated with this, but I am still hanging in there. Looking for a direction to go towards on how to solve this issue. Thank you in advance.
