On Mac OS X, this is what I do to create a memstick:

1. Cmd+Space "terminal" Enter
NOTE: Launches terminal irrespective of what app your in or what you're doing
2. time curl -LO
download.freebsd.org/ftp/releases/ISO-IMAGES/11.0/FreeBSD-11.0-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img
NOTE: Took 14m26s for me
3. curl -LO fraubsd.org/dl/WriteImage/Makefile
4. make
5. open -a WriteImage FreeBSD-11.0-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img
NOTE: This is like taking the .img, dragging it, and dropping it on
WriteImage.app

If I'm stopped by the "can't be opened ... unidentified developer" dialog:

5.a. sudo spctl --status
5.b. sudo spctl --master-disable
5.c. sudo spctl --status
5.d. repeat step 5
(and at some later time, --master-enable to turn signature checks back on)

Then for the human bits:

6. Insert a blank thumb drive and follow the prompts

Meanwhile, this is what I do on Windows:

1. Win+R "iexplore download.freebsd.org" ENTER
2. Navigate to releases/ISO-IMAGES/11.0/
3. Right-click FreeBSD-11.0-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img and select Save File
As... or similar
4. Download win32diskimager from here if not installed
https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/
5. Launch win32diskimager
6. Insert a USB image and select it
7. Select the button to write an image
8. Navigate to the downloaded .img, select it, and hit OK

>From there it's all magic. At the end of either process, you'll have a bootable
USB memstick that has the OS on it and can be used as a LiveCD, installer,
repair disk, or whatever.

Cheers!
