I checked the SHA256 sum twice, dd'ed to a USB drive twice. Examining the drive in a FreeBSD 13.2 installation also reports "GPT rejected".
ive downloaded from 3 servers.
all of them are failing to write to usb.
tried 2 different devices. windows and Mac. and 2 different working thumb drives!
STOP! STOP! My fault altogether! Gnaaa ...
When did the installer image cross the size of 2G? :o ::)
So, grab larger USB drive and try again ...
For the record:
----------------
OK, when I use a FreeBSD system, uncompress the image and turn it into a block device like so:
mdconfig -t vnode OPNsense-24.1-serial-amd64.img
then everything looks good:
root@freebsd:~ # gpart show /dev/md0
=> 3 4676563 md0 GPT (2.2G)
3 66584 1 efi (33M)
66587 123 2 freebsd-boot (62K)
66710 1024 3 freebsd-swap (512K)
67734 4608832 4 freebsd-ufs (2.2G)
So possibly something went wrong with me writing to USB device on my Mac (which I have literally done hundreds of times over the last years), or the APU4 booting, recognising the missing backup GPT header and *somehow* destroying the partition table in the process.
I will now write the image to the USB drive on FreeBSD and do a
gpart recover
first. Then try to boot again.
Installer is working fine. Apologies for the noise.
I was using a 4-8gb on my Mac's using balena etcher
Then noticed the patch to download patch to download 24.1
It installed over the internet no issues!
