Description

Using the latest daily snapshot (pfSense-CE-2.5.0-DEVELOPMENT-amd64-20200918-1020), writing the ISO to a USB drive using Etcher or Rufus no longer works, and results in a drive with unallocated space. Using the ISO as a boot device for a VM is fine. This is not an issue with the 2.4.5-p3 ISO.

We stopped using hybrid images on purpose. The memstick has a separate FAT partition to make it easier to load configs during install, and that isn't compatible with the ISO.

Use the memstick image for memsticks, and the iso for VMs and optical media.
