Don't use nano, use full

 

You never mount the img file, just put it on the disk

You mean put on the disk by using rufus right or copying to root location of the usb.

Try win32diskimager with the iso file

I have tired that, when it boots up  on my computer it just shows the blinking space for a long time.

Fix the problem by flashing .img onto actual hard drive used for pfsense.
