Thanks @franco

[<wan><if>iwm0</if>]

I also found that NAT is not working using WIFI as a WAN

in ifconfig the interface appears as iwm0_wlan0 but the NAT does not see this, so no automatic rules are generated.
Adding manual rules looks like
rdr nat on iwm0 inet ...
manually change rules to change to iwmo_wlan0 appears to work

so fix is to edit /conf/config.xml from:
    <wan><if>iwm0</if>
to be
    <wan><if>iwm0_wlan0</if>

Next disable outbound NAT, save, apply.
Finally re enable automatic Nat, save, apply.
Now have working NAT with WIFI WAN.

[<wireless/>]

Seems like it is a problem if WLAN is selected as a WAN device. The php tries to access:
$a_interfaces["wireless"]["mode"] but the wireless element is not an object, it is an empty string.

As a workaround I tried setting the mode in /config/config.xml  i.e. find the line in the right interface block which shows:
   <wireless/>
and use "vi" change it to
   <wireless><mode>bss</mode></wireless>
this suppresses the error and allows further configuration.
After this I a was able to see that the wlan associated.

(all done via a shell from the console)

Deleting the 192.161.1.0/24 from the list, leaving only the Wireguard-IP/32 in all endpoints allows it to start

Also I can still ssh to a LAN machine at 192.168.1.100 so there seems to be no need to have that local setting in the endpoint config.

The web ui is also accessible with this setting.

It turns ou that the UEFI boot manager was set to boot "UEFI OS" first
then UEFI on the first HD

Solution was to delete the "UEFI OS" entry form the the UEFI boot list; then the system booted normally.

To be sure I did a reboot and a power-off for the console menu. Reboot ewas normal in both cases

Installed from: OPNsense-20.7-OpenSSL-vga-amd64.img.bz2

It seems that the loader is not getting the correct "currdev" setting and  showing this error:

Code Select Expand

Ignoring boot0002: Device Path not found
Failed to find bootable partition

The system is then not responsive to keyboard

If I hit space immediately and type these command the system starts normally:

Code Select Expand

set currdev=disk0p3
load /boot/kernel/kernel
boot

Is there a way to det the "currdev" value for the loader? Possibly it is an EFI setting?
