What are the instructions for using this 8.0 memstick.img?
What raw size memstick is needed?
Is the 8.0 memstick.img the same content as the cd1 disk?
Sigh. Reply-to-all fail. Resending.
It's all in the email about the 8.0 BETA(s). Use dd, a memstick that
is of equal to or greater size than the memstick.img, and no, it's
different from disc1. It currently lacks packages, but it does include
livefs.

The email about 8.0 BETA(s) was not posted to the questions list that is
why I did not see it.
This is what I tried
$$$$ Plugging in the stick auto generated these messages
# /root >umass0: <vendor 0x0930 USB Flash Memory, class 0/0, rev 2.00/2.00,
addr 2> on uhub1
da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
da0: < USB Flash Memory 6.50> Removable Direct Access SCSI-0 device

GEOM_LABEL: Label for provider da0s1 is msdosfs/ço¤żňÚktń
$$$$ I have to hit enter key to get prompt
$$$$ of=da0 or of=da0s1 resulted in same thing, no img on stick
# /usr >dd if=8.0-BETA1-i386-memstick.img of=da0 bs=10240 conv=sync
57412+0 records in

Can not mount with (mount /dev/da0s1 /mnt)
But (mount_msdosfs /dev/da0s1 /mnt) does work but
stick still contains the original data.
Has not been overwritten by the 8.0-BETA1-i386-memstick.img
What is the problem here?
You're writing to a file called da0 inside /usr instead of /dev/da0.

dd if=8.0-BETA1-i386-memstick.img of=/dev/da0 worked
I used my laptop to boot from the usb memstick. The 8.0 sysinstall
started right up but it has problems. In this test i am booting off a
2gb usb memstick containing the 8.0-BETA1-i386-memstick.img and
installing on a second 8gb memstick.
While trying to do a [STANDARD/KERNEL DEVELOPER] distribution
sysinstall issues error msg saying package index not on current media
them gos on to tell me that docproj, manpages, proflibs, dict, info,
sbace, ssys and srce are not on the media.
I take this to mean that they are missing from the
8.0-BETA1-i386-memstick.img.
So I tried to install again this time doing a minimal selection. This
when through to completion but the resulting memstick was not bootable.
I'll try this test again when BETA2 is released.
