ok, did another install on a 500gb HDD, for second point above. This is the error message I get:

/boot/config: -S115200 -D



error 1 lba 495043855
No /boot/loader

OPNsense/x86 boot
Default: 0:ad(0,a)/boot/kernel/kernel
boot:

And when I do a Custom Install, I un-select Packet-Mode at this screen:

16.1 Legacy Series / Problems installing opnsense serial

« on: February 20, 2016, 11:37:08 pm »

Hi!

I'm having problems installing OPNSense on an network embedded device using the seiral img.

First problem was having to make a USB stick to install with. Is there a was to make an iso for installing?

Second, using quick and easy setup, I get an error LBA thing. I don't have the exact text but it happens right after the first reboot and seems like a bootloader issue. I got around this by using a custom install and un-selecting packet thing at the bootblocks install portion.

Turd, I get a:
ada0: Previously was known as ad0
 Loader variables:
 Manual root filesystem specification:
 <fstype>:<device> [options] Mount <device> using filesystem <fstype> and with the specified (optional) option list. eg. ufs:/dev/da0s1a zfs:tank cd9660:/dev/acd0 ro (which is equivalent to: mount -t cd9660 -o ro /dev/acd0 /) ? List valid disk boot devices . Yield 1 second (for background tasks) <empty line> Abort manual input mountroot>

and then I enter ufs:/dev/diskid/DISK-E00G4243FTG0LPs1a
and it seems to work, and when I went to edit with vi (Most painful editor built by Satan hisself I swaer) /etc/fstab has:
/dev/ada0s1a
which also works when I type in the 'mountroot>' prompt...

I went to check if there is another img I can write to my install usb stick, but there doesn't seem to be one... So I hope someone here is kind enough to help.
