Title: Bootstrap install on Freebsd 12
Post by: Wyrm on January 16, 2020, 09:21:08 am

Hi,
does anybody tested to install opnsense over freebsd 12(bootstrap) ?
I have HW which could not boot opnsense, but freebasd 12 is OK.
Should I test HBSD latest or it will work on freebsd 12 ?

I dont think the bootstrap script is already prepared for 12 kernel.

Thank you.
So I try to run freebsd 11 or HBSD 11 and see if it boots and then I could try that bootstrap ?

Opening a thread with the issue either here or on Github would be the better way to address the boot issue, and having it fixed in 19.7 /20.1 would likely help others with similar hardware.

Randomly bootstrapping things, while a good learning opportunity, is unlikely to get much traction here from a support perspective.
