This is a CD-ROM image. Please try again using the 'memstick' image
instead, whicih should be available in the same place you for the ISO
image for the CD-based installation and have a name like this:
FreeBSD-9.1-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img
This should be bootable if you copy it directly to a USB stick with at
least 733 MB of disk space. You can use plain dd(1) from your Ubuntu
installation to do that:
sudo dd if=FreeBSD-9.1-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img of=/dev/sdc
Just replace /dev/sdc with the name of your USB stick's device.
