Can't seem to create a bootable ISO of the new web interface Freenas. I load up the ISO in Rufus(in this case 11.2-U4.1) and to begin with almost all the options are greyed out which is not normal. When I'm done creating the ISO the drive becomes unreadable and Windows keeps asking if I want to format the drive. I tried to boot off of it and it failed. I tried multiple USB drives on multiple computers but always got the same thing. The legacy ISO(11.1-U7) creation works just fine in Rufus. I'm not doing anything special in Rufus just loading the ISO, select the right USB drive, and press Start.

I got around this problem by installing the legacy version then updating.

That worked but in a odd way.

I remember trying that earlier and when I found out it only listed .img files in the image selection dialog box
I moved on. Really odd that you have to "force" it to use .iso files but that's an issue for Win32DiskImager and not Freenas.

Thanks for the help.
