The flash drive MUST be formatted FAT32 or it will not mount properly, resulting in a non working Unraid.

 

Formatting as FAT32 is covered in the instructions.

When you try and make the disk bootable it gives this message. The assumption is NTFS would be valid, but that is for Make Bootable script only.

 

I also read somewhere that NTFS is needed for UEFI boot, but I can't find that part now.

Thanks for clearing it up, I'm amazed that it booted as well.
