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.
