Seems it didn't like a USB3 port or a USB2 port beside each other. Changed to USB2 port on other side of machine and it boots fine.
Use the USB3 port to boot numerous Linux flavours on external drive so guess this is a freeBSD issue.

Re: Moving files between Linux and GhostBSD and back
That is very interesting and a useful tip.
Guessing on a home network a NAS will probably be convenient, most modern routers have a USB socket that can be used for this purpose.

Re: Installed but no Boot Option
I've tried now installation about four times. I've allowed auto setup for mount points. I've tried UEFI Loader only, I've tried FreeBSD boot manager, still no boot menu option to load Ghost. The option to setup rEFind boot manager is greyed out. If I run update-grub from a Linux dustro I get 'unknow...
