15.1 Legacy Series / Re: 15.1.6.1 not booting on Soekris net6501

I'm happy to be a guinea pig to run dev code through the hoops on my net6501.

Any update on this?

Any additional information I can provide?

I'd really, really love to run OPNsense... running vanilla FreeBSD isn't nearly as clean... 

On a side note, I've tried to build an OPNSense image off of a functional FreeBSD 10.1-STABLE install, and the build process crashes (and causes a reboot.)

FreeBSD 10.1-STABLE will, however, install and boot just fine.

Is this FreeBSD 10-STABLE (if so, which date or commit) or FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE? They are different.

FreeBSD 10-STABLE

I too can confirm that opnsense (and pfsense 2.2) will not boot on the Soekris 6501.

FreeBSD 10.1-STABLE will, however, install and boot just fine.

My behavior is exactly as jstrebel describes.  It reboots immediately after the boot loader.

To be clear, you never get to Stage One of the FreeBSD boot process.
