Screen output when booting FreeBSD memstick image

I can't boot FreeBSD memstick image from USB. The boot menu can display
successfully but then fail to boot.

Tried to use other image including :
1. FreeBSD-10.1-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img
2. FreeBSD-10.1-RELEASE-amd64-mini-memstick.img
3. FreeBSD-10.1-RELEASE-amd64-uefi-memstick.img
4. FreeBSD-10.1-RELEASE-amd64-uefi-mini-memstick.img

And tried to use other USB storage device including :
1. TDK 8GB Flash Drive
2. WD MyPassport 500GB HDD
3. USB card reader with 2GB NOKIA mini-SD card

Computer :
*** ASUS ChromeBox M004U ( CN60 ) ***
CPU : Celeron 2955U 1.4GHz
RAM : 8GB ( 4GB X2 ; 1.35V ; DDR3 ; Crucial )
SSD : Transcend 128 GB SATA III 6Gb/s MTS400

All memstick image has tested with md5 and sha256sum.

Tried to use DD on Linux and win32imagewriter on Windows to create the USB
drive, but neither of them works.

Linux including Fedora/Ubuntu/OpenSUSE can boot and install successfully on
this machine. Not sure why FreeBSD is unable to boot.

Screenshot attached for reference.
