Unable to install on HyperV - Mount Error

[jobinjv]

I am trying to setup opnsense on a hyperv and every time the install ends at the same point. I have allocated 32 GB HDD and 3 GB RAM, 2 Virtual processors as well.

I tried to install 18.7 and upgrade to 19.1. 18.7 went fine and I was able to do ten initial config. Once I did the upgrade it went back to the same thing.

I have opnsense production and development versions running on windows server 2012r2 hyper-v with no issues like what you're having. Can you provide more details about the configuration?

Dont use Gen2 machine mode

[jobinjv]

Its Gen 1.

[bimmerdriver]

I'm using generation 2 for both versions of opnsense that I have running. There is no reason not to use it. You just have to remember to disable secure boot, because it's not supported by freebsd. For the rest of the settings, you should use defaults.

I used Gen 1, Installed 18.7. Worked perfectly fine till i tried to upgrade to 19.1.7 and there it went.

Tried a fresh install and still the same.

I tried on Gen 2 with secure boot disabled and below are the different stages of how that install went.

I run OPNsense 19.1.8 with Hyper-V 2019 - Was installed as 19.1.4 then been upgraded since.

Have installed and run 19.1.7 both Gen 1 and Gen 2 successfully.

Is it possible your 19.1.7 media is corrupt?

I see only one network adapter. What is your network configuration?

[jobinjv]

I just didn't enable, its the same if its added too. 

[bimmerdriver]

Post the settings for the network adapters.

Try installing the same version of freebsd.

 LAN NIC





WAN NIC





Last screen on the install process

Why does the install stop at the point it tries to mount root

[bimmerdriver]

Your network adapter settings are exactly what I'm using.

I have no comment about why it's stopping when it's trying to mount root. I've never seen that. Maybe someone else?

[jobinjv]

It seems alls going waste, Gen1 Gen2. Nothing makes a sense. Direct DVD, ISO Image or even the VGA image onto a disk doesn't do the thing. All stop right here.

Just a thought...

Do you have the latest supported BIOS for your system.
An updated Hardened FreeBSD 11.2 is used now and may require a later BIOS?
Possibly worth checking any other firmware for storage controllers etc
