so you suggest to flash the nano image directly on mSATA.
I'll try that. thanks.

I don't have another mSATA to try so I'll snap that on different platfrom and flash the nano image onit.

the usb key is ok (tried 2 different), images md5 are ok, I try to put a new mSATA  drive (if I find a spare one... probably that's broken... but it used to work with a debian on it, SSD fail silently some times).

will keep you posted .

thanks

Hi everybody,

I'm trying to install OPNsense-16.7-OpenSSL-serial-amd64 on the mSATA drive of a APU1D4 from PCEngines http://pcengines.ch/apu1d4.htm,

flashed the usb key for installing it, booted with no issues, as I go through the installer I see no issues, it reaches the

Code Select Expand

/usr/local/bin/cpdup -vvv -I -o /boot /mnt/boot 
and it gets stuck at 8%
then throws these error

Code Select Expand

Execution of the command
/usr/local/bin/cpdup -vvv -I -o /boot /mnt/boot
was cancelled.

here's the log

I've already tried the boot with the "known to work on pfsense" options

am I supposed to flash the nano image directly on mSATA drive?
I'll prefer a full install if possible since the hardware is capable of handling it (at least on paper).

thanks in advance for your help.
