English is not my original language, and therefore maybe I'm not very clear, but I thought I have already explained that this is exactly what I did.
From the official page of Truenas installation I followed all the various methods listed there. So I used "dd", and after the failure, I followed the Ventoy method, and then the others.
Just an hour ago I put my hands on a PC with installed Windows 10, so I was able to use rufus 4.9, but the results are the same: with the pendisk inserted the NAS start with the "Terramaster" logo, and after a few seconds it display the BIOS page, and in the "Boot" there isn't any UEFI disk available, just a generic "USB drive".
These are my BIOS settings:

Hello! We have successfully completed the installation of the TrueNAS system on the F4-424 Max device. Here, we would like to specifically remind you to pay attention to the following two points:

If you are operating in a Windows environment, you need to use the UltraISO software to accurately burn the TrueNAS system image file onto a USB drive.Do not use the dd command to burn the TrueNAS system image file to a USB drive.

Do not use Live Boot methods such as Ventoy to install TrueNAS, as the latest version of TrueNAS does not support installation via this method.

Thanks so much!! Luckily a friend of mine has an old bought copy of UltraISO. Using that software I was able to boot from the pendisk and now I have TrueNAS installed on my Terramaster F4-424 Max

Thanks again,
cheers
