Hi everybody,

I'm trying to install FreeBSD 10.0 on my Mac Mini:

Apple Mac Mini MD388
Intel Quad-Core i7 processor/2.3 GHz
3rd gen. CPU
HD: SATA
Storage: 1TB
Gfx card: Intel HD Graphics 4000
USB 3.0

As far as I was able to find out this was the version to install (I
don't have a DVD drive):

FreeBSD-10.0-RELEASE-i386-memstick.img

I burned the image to my memory stick and was given the FreeBSD logo as
an option during boot-up. Then I got "Boot Error". Tried the same drill
using a different stick. Same result.

Am I using the wrong version or is it a hardware issue do you think?

Thanks in advance,
