Title: New Protectli installation, but reboot goes nowhere
Post by: nightsweats on September 09, 2024, 11:17:33 PM
Just getting my feet wet here, and already I'm stuck on dry land. New Protectli 2420. Installed Opnsense via USB. All seemed to go well. Changed the root password, and the installer rebooted. I thought I would get to a screen enabling me to remap the LAN and WAN ports, but instead ended up here...

Next, I rebooted, and repeated the installation. Same outcome. What have I done wrong? Thanks!

looks like it has rebooted to the same media used to install.
Either needs to change on BIOS/EFI settings or just removing it might make it land on the appropriate media.

Perhaps disable netboot (iPXE)?

Thanks. Those comments made me check the bios boot order, and I saw network was first. Updated bios, and all seems normal. The journey now begins...

Netboot as in boot from the web or netboot as in boot from a server on your LAN? I'm guessing web because network boot from a LAN generally times out if it doesn't connect or if you don't press a key.
