Aloha,

Thanks for the help from the list on installing FreeBSD 7.2 on a Sandisk 
USB Flash drive. I was able to install the basic FreeBSD files and it 
rebooted. I used the 7.2 that Manolis created. However there were errors 
with trying to load the install for xorg. This new xorg is the same 
version that I have not been able to get to work on my test box either 
with a regular HDD.

That said everything else seems to be there as expected. Thanks for that 
p1 version for speeding up a default install.

I have the test box trying to load an xorg from the main server to 
correct this issue for me. I will report on if that cures the problem. 
On the download of 7.2 p1 it said CD-DVD iso. but I think the file is 
too big for a CD. The only errors were about xorg and associated libs. 
Can anyone enlighten me on this?.

Again thanks to the FreeBSD list support we are making progress.
