Than you for the response.

Unfortunately, Opnsense may not have been made to run on a Watchguard XTM 5 series. It looks fine but the cursor location for the password should have a space between the colon.

How it should look

login: installer
password: Opnsense

What actually happens is the cursor's fixed position for password prompt is broken. It should be programmed to  leave a space after the colon then you enter password (password: opnsense). Which is not happening and will not advance to the space where characters should be entered. Tried now three different laptops and 4 pcs that I have.

login: installer
password:

Opnsense: 20.1
Bare metal: Watchguard xtm 515
Memory 2gb Corsair
Cpu: Xeon L5410
Booting with 16gb CF Card(waste of space but had one laying around) to install on 120gb ssd
Kitty/super putty/putty - 115200 / 8 / 1 / none /
Cisco Serial Cable (usb -> console)

Previously had Pfsense installed using same setup no issue(wanted to try Opnsense).

I boot up Watchguard with CF card installed, got through the motions and get to the prompt to enter login and password.  At login prompt after the colon there is a space then you enter (root or installer). ie, LOGIN:_root. When i hit enter to enter password, the cursor jumps to the password field but there i s no space after the colon and I  cant move cursor nor enter password. I have tried with all four versions of Opnsense same issue.
