"boot:" sounds like something else, maybe LILO on a local hard drive is being booted instead of the USB media. The kFreeBSD ISO images should show a graphical GRUB menu. Firstly, are you sure your BIOS is set up for USB booting at all? Have you tried booting anything else this way, such as a Debian GNU/Linux Squeeze install image, or a Debian Live GNU/Linux image? Also are you writing the ISO images to the USB drive correctly? It must be written to the very start of the block device and not to a partition, e.g. from Linux `dd bs=1M if=foo.iso of=/dev/sdX` (where X is the USB drive) and especially not to /dev/sdX1 (first partition on the drive). Othewise, some pre-existing bootloader on the drive (such as LILO) might be getting booted instead of the real bootloader from the installer ISO image.
