Not sure what I'm doing wrong:

I tried different mirrors, but get the same result.
You downloaded the serial image and it verified ok. The other images are not present in your current directory.
The signature is for the uncompressed images now due to popular demand. So you can check the checksum of the archived file and the resulting file with the signature... notice the differing file extensions ;)

Thanks, the decompressed image verifies OK. :)
$ openssl dgst -sha256 -verify OPNsense-24.1.pub -signature /tmp/image.sig OPNsense-24.1-serial-amd64.img
Verified OK
However the manual still mentions (https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/install.html#download-and-verification) the .bz2 image.
I know, I know. ;)
Cheers,

If bash is available, a shortcut to avoid decompressing the image to disk is to use process substitution to decompress the image as it's read into openssl. This is useful if you're just looking to archive the image files for backup/DR purposes, without wanting to take up the disk space of decompressing them ahead of time.
The following snippet assumes the variable $sig is the filename to the ".sig" file and likewise that $pub is the filename of the ".pub" file. Other shells may have similar functionality.
$ openssl base64 -d -in ${sig} -out - | \
openssl dgst -sha256 -verify $pub -signature /dev/stdin <(bzip2 -cdv ${sig::-4}.bz2)The above snippet is from a more complete script I wrote that automates checking the checksums and signatures of all the release files after I download them to a folder. I just run the script from within that download directory. It assumes you've already manually verified the primary ".pub" key for that release. I'm sure it's not ideal, but I'll post it below in case it's useful to anyone. I just updated it to be able to handle whether the ".sig" files are for the compressed or uncompressed image (so long as that compression is bz2).
#!/bin/bash
sha256sum -c ./OPNsense*.sha256
for pub in ./*.pub
do
for sig in ${pub::-4}*.sig
do
echo "Verifying signature: $sig"
if [ -f ${sig::-4} ]
then
openssl base64 -d -in ${sig} -out - | \
openssl dgst -sha256 -verify $pub -signature /dev/stdin ${sig::-4}
elif [ -f ${sig::-4}.bz2 ]
then
echo "File is compressed with bzip, will decompress in pipe..."
openssl base64 -d -in ${sig} -out - | \
openssl dgst -sha256 -verify $pub -signature /dev/stdin <(bzip2 -cdv ${sig::-4}.bz2)
else
echo "Error: Could not find source file to compare..."
fi

@rkubes nice trick, thanks!
I adjust the docs: https://github.com/opnsense/docs/commit/6950921b
