Maybe it looks like an ACPI problem in the BIOS/UEFI. For ACPI problems, your first step should generally be to check your BIOS version and update to the latest version from the manufacturer. It is not uncommon to have ACPI errors in the BIOS. Updating the BIOS is usually the best way to fix them if a newer version is available.

Can you disable ACPI in BIOS?

Checked BIOS, is on latest version, no option in there to disable ACPI, boot mode is set to legacy, if I change to UEFI I get 'no doot devices found' message.

Try installing FreeBSD itself, if that works you can then can just run these commands and Opnsense will install itself.



# pkg install ca_root_nss
# fetch https://raw.githubusercontent.com/opnsense/update/master/bootstrap/opnsense-bootstrap.sh
# sh ./opnsense-bootstrap.sh

I have managed to install now by running 'opnsense-installer' from option 8 shell, it works fine, I can log in to the gui all good, just these messages scrolling from the monitor plugged in to the hdmi port of the box.

I found this, https://forum.netgate.com/topic/94792/install-of-2-2-6-on-32gb-emmc-nand/2 (https://forum.netgate.com/topic/94792/install-of-2-2-6-on-32gb-emmc-nand/2) which is the same box (Acer M1-601) as I'm using, so I added the line hint.acpi_tz.0.disabled="1" and now I get a panic during boot and it stops there...
