The problem I have is I am using an old WSA(Web Security Appliance aka Firewall). So i'm not too sure how to even get into Bios.

The part that confuses me is during installation I actually select my SSD as the install location, create the partition manually so I know it is selecting the correct disk, run the install and after it reboots it will only load the installation from the USB(which is running the Live version I imagine)

I have attached an image to show the Disk in the lobby, and this isn't my SSD, so not sure where that install is located(It is only 650MB, my USB drive is 32GB)

Going to try and install to a different disk tomorrow and see what happens.

When installing it shows the SSD, which I select to install to. It says its successful, but when I remove the USB device and reboot it won't boot to the SSD. After that I insert the USB device, and it goes to the installation wizard part again. So I exit that menu and it goes to opnsense after that, where I can configure everything(Ip's, vlans etc). From there I can't tell if its actually using the SSD install or if it is installed on the USB device.

Hello,

I am currently in the process of setting up an old firewall to use with Opnsense. I boot via USB and install to my ssd via Console. Everything checks out so far and looks format and write to the selected drive with no problems. As soon as it gets to the part to remove the USB drive and reboot it won't boot from my SSD.

I've re-installed several times and ran into the same problem. It continues a boot loop until I insert the USB drive I used, then it will bring up the installation option again.

Is it for some reason installing to the USB key instead of the SSD? Thats the only thing I can think of right now but see no reason it shouldn't work, as there are no errors when writing/formatting to the SSD.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.
