Install Freezes at Guided Installation
« on: February 25, 2017, 06:13:15 pm »
I'm trying to do a fresh install on a 2nd machine to use as a backup incase the main router goes down.  I never had problems installing v15 or v16, but man, the FreeBSD underpinnings of v17 seem to be making what was once simple, frustrating.

First it wouldn't boot until I did the steps here:

Now, I make it all the way to "Guided Installation" but on that screen I can't select anything. It's just frozen. No keyboard input. Nothin'. I have to force reset the PC.

I guess note this somewhere. What I ended up doing was installing 16.7 which worked perfectly, then upgraded to 17.1 which went well, but I had to follow the directions in this post (including making the change with the GUI) in order to get it to boot every time.

I guess I'll keep that 16.7 DVD I made handy!
