That's a question more suited for a Solaris mailing list. :-)

If the USB stick has been properly created, you should try
to boot from it. The installer will be launched automatically
as you can see in the online documentation:

https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/bsdinstall-start.html

See from 2.4.4, then:

https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/using-bsdinstall.html

The installer will guide you through the required steps. There
is _no_ need to "prepare" anything (like creating partitions
and formatting them); everything the installer needs is some
unallocated (!) space on the target disk.
