20.7 Legacy Series / Re: can't install on SSD

I checked the linked page. It doesn't list Intel Atom, but the FreeBSD forum clearly says it's supported.
Also the live image runs from SSD. And the installer lists the SSD as target. And the log lists cylinder and block details on the SSD.
IMHO this should exclude compatibility issues, shouldn't it?

as said, it runs from an USB stick, so it is compatible.

20.7 Legacy Series / can't install on SSD

« on: December 28, 2020, 08:50:49 pm »

Hi there,
I want to upgrade from monowall.
I was already successful to install the (VGA) image to an USB Stick and install from the booted live system to the same stick. The hardware seems fine, fast enough (Dual Core Atom D2500, 1.86GHz, 2GB RAM)

Unfortunately I can't install to an SSD. No matter if the live system is booted from the same SSD, or from an USB Stick. I log in with the install user, the drive is shown in the install wizard but once selected, it exits.

I'm not very familiar with BSD or gpart, so I'm not sure what is the actual error, so I uploaded the first window and the "view log" screen. Could anybody please advice?

Since the log suggest that there is a file existing, I formatted and later even low-level formatted the SSD, without any difference.
I checked the BIOS for anything referring to the sector numbering, but there's nothing.
I also tried IDA and AHCI in the BIOS without any effect. That'S pretty much all the BIOS allows to change here.

18.1 Legacy Series / manual DNS on DHCP WAN Interface?

« on: April 15, 2018, 10:16:45 pm »

Hi there,
I'm still using monowall and considering switching to OPNsense.
I need particulary 2 things and would like to understand, if that's possible:
1) the WAN interface goes to a cable modem which is the DHCP server. So it gives my firewall it's DNS servers. I'd like to manually overwrite those and use the DNSs of my choice. monowall can't do that. Can OPNsense?

2) doing above it would be nice to go straight to DNS over TLS. I know that's not a standard yet, but perhaps it's already possible in OPNsense?


Thx,
reach
