Hi,

   I am trying to boot FreeBSD 12.2-RELEASE from a USB stick which had the memstick image on it.

   I can get to the OF boot prompt, but how do I boot from there ?  

   The USB stick is located at the devalias usb0 as far as I can tell.

   What would the boot command be ?  Looking at https://i.redd.it/0ypv6vmi63231.jpg it seems I need some arguments, but I don’t know where or how to find them.

    The Handbook has instructions on how to create a memstick.img but nothing that I could find regarding how to boot from it.



cheers,

    mehul
