17.7 Legacy Series / Re: OPNsense vs. pfsense on Soekris net6501 - HELP!

Mine does not have an mSATA drive, I had used it previously with m0n0wall on USB.

It has a 32GB USB made by SanDisk that I bought at the same time as the 6501-50.

I use it as my home internet security device to separate IoT devices from my LAN and Wi-Fi networks - and it's WAN port connects to my ISP.  I use the OpenVPN to connect to my computer remotely using RDP so I can get things from and put things I am working on at home on my PC at the house from work.

17.7 Legacy Series / OPNsense vs. pfsense on Soekris net6501 - HELP!

« on: January 01, 2018, 10:51:10 pm »

Well, I have good news and bad news.
I've been trying for days to get OPNsense 17.7.5 to run on my Soekris net6501-50, and it never worked.
I've tried burning the USB stick using the nano image as many possible ways as I could and it simply does not work.

I downloaded pfSense 2.3.5, burned the image to the same exact USB stick using Windows 10 and rufus.  Worked perfectly the first time.  I configured it, and it now is up and running replacing M0n0wall 1.8.1 which is what was running on that hardware until yesterday.

I want to be running OPNsense...  how can this be done?  It doesn't install the way your site says that it does.

My Soekris is USB only - it does not have an mSATA hard disk installed.
