      Following the call to test 2.2 Beta, I

      • retrieved the following image

      • http://snapshots.pfsense.org/FreeBSD_stable/10/amd64/pfSense_HEAD/livecd_installer/pfSense-memstick-2.2-BETA-amd64-20140919-1449.img.gz

      • checked the md5sum

      • gunzipped it, and ran

      • dd if=pfSense-memstick-2.2-BETA-amd64-20140919-1449.img of=/dev/sdb

      • into a USB stick

      When I try to boot off this memstick, however, nothing happens. Its like there's no bootloader.

      What am I doing wrong?

        Tried it again a couple of times, ran into the same problem.

        I decided to dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=16k
        and then re-dd the same image.

        Worked this time.

        Recommend people move along and don't spend time on this.
