Rederence

https://www.freebsd.org/releases/9.3R/announce.html

download images for memory stick

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/ISO-IMAGES/9.3/

# unxz /home/hattori/FreeBSD-9.3-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img.xz

prepare a USB stick

# dd if=FreeBSD-9.3-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img of=/dev/sdg1 bs=10240 conv=sync

confirm that you can boot FreeBSD from the memory stick.

I have tested this under KVM.

# qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 256 -usb /dev/sdg1
