[SOLVED] USB install seems stuck

How long should the phase, at 63% of "/usr/local/bin/cpdup -vvv -I -o /usr/local /mnt/usr/local" take? I ask because it's been stuck there for 20 minutes with just the spinning |/-\ running.
This is in trying to install from the "VGA" USB image.

Depends where you are installing to? /usr/local is the largest blob. Depending on average read speed of the stick and the write speed of the target media that may take a while.

Installing to a RAID array in a Dell server. It's now been stuck there for over 1-1/2 hours. Can't be right.

The several segfaults seen since my initial report suggest bad hardware.
However for what it's worth, a manual install via SSH now is again stuck, this time at:
/usr/local/bin/cpdup -vvv -I -o /boot /mnt/boot at 9%. When I go in for another session as root, I can't even ls /mnt. So it's apparently not mounted.
Error handling isn't handling this well.

A BIOS upgrade on the Dell has allowed the installation to run to completion -- much faster too.
But it doesn't successfully boot into it. Looks like trouble with the Dell PERC H730 RAID adaptor. The FreeBSD docs only list the H730/P, not the H730, as compatible. Evidently they're distinct hardware. May have to shut down the RAID and retry.
I don't suppose OPNsense supports ZFS, in place of hardware RAID? Can't find anything in the docs about filesystem choices.

Ah, Dell also had a firmware upgrade for the RAID controller. Now it finishes booting. What an adventure.

same exact issue here. no raid. latest bios. install progressing extremely slow. after 2 1/2 hours it's at 75%. I'm installing to an SSD. My usb stick is not THAT slow.

After the firmware updates to the Dell (both BIOS and RAID), the installation process completes within a few minutes.
There was an apparent difference between the iDRAC (Dell lights-out) view of the console and doing the installation through SSH, in that with SSH the errors thrown were presented, where the iDRAC view just would get stuck showing a percentage.
(Presumably the iDRAC view is what I would have seen if sitting in front of the machine. But it's 100 miles away.)
