I'm trying to install OPNsense for the first time -- goes without saying that I'm pretty new to this sort of stuff.
As soon as I select the bootable USB with the vga image of OPNsense on it, I get the ASCII art welcome screen as expected. I allow it to autoboot, where it soon after gets stuck hanging on the following output, before I even get to 'log in' to the installer:
"ata3: <ATA channel> at channel 1 on atapci0",
as seen in the following screenshot:

Here are some specs that might be helpful. Let me know if I left out any other useful info.
Thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide!! :)
