Now, I want to build one from scratch based on the examples below using a UFS filesystem in a USB flash drive -> ufs:/dev/da0s1a. Are there any available step-by-step reference(s) that can help and guide me in the building process?

Hi,

From your mail I don't really understand what your level of skills with FreeBSD is. I assume the scenario with cd9660 and error 19 is not your biggest concern. You just want to install on a USB flash drive.

Does this help: https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/bsdinstall/ ?

Ronald.
