I'm having this issue with my Deciso DEC740 trying to re-install fresh with OPNsense 26.1.
The following is the procedure I'm performing:
1. Download OPNsense-26.1.6-serial-amd64.img.bz2 (sha256 = 60E698B7F935B647B72A424C78ACAA1772A050BB4BD593CA001EA9A1634D5643)
2. Unpack the bz2 into an IMG file. (sha256 = 5971BDDBC1CA2A1CE09DF5A5675FA782B34963E8C7A2ADC5FE11B8523A0F1C60)
3. Use BalenaEtcher to write IMG file to USB stick.
4. Put USB stick in firewall.
5. Connect serial console to firewall (115200 baud) with PuTTY.
6. Power cycle firewall and hit ESC to enter boot menu.
7. Select to boot from USB stick.
The boot process gets this far, and then hangs:

Troubleshooting steps I've tried to far:
- Try writing image with BalenaEtcher and Rufus (neither seem to work)
- Try using 2 different USB sticks
- Try changing console option from Serial to VGA on boot screen
- Connect Ethernet to see if there's any signs of life using wireshark - nothing
- Just wait
I've had this same issue with two seperate DEC740 firewalls.
What else could I try?
I don't think it hangs, but serial is definitely not active after init takes over booting.

Thank you for the link.
Disabling legacy UART as per the following solution from this thread worked for me: https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?msg=134528
Ok, good. Be aware that if the CMOS battery is empty it could keep resetting itself.
