With both images, the USB stick is not recognized. Can you download the image from https://people.freebsd.org/~emaste/mini-image.amd64.xz, uncompress and write it to a USB stick and try on this system? This is a MBR-partitioned dual-mode test image. It's not an installer - it should just boot to a login prompt - but can be used to test this scheme.
