19.1 Legacy Series / Stucking at "Boot: F1" after installation

« on: March 19, 2019, 09:46:40 pm »

Hello,

Four times I tried to install OPNsense 19.1 on an appliance.
I tried guided installation and advanced installation over two different devices.
After installation then reboot and ...
I'm stucking at

Code: [Select]

F1  FreeBSD                                                                     
                                                                               
F6 PXE                                                                         
Boot:  F1                                                                       
\   
nothing more ... no activity on device led.

Installation media "OPNsense-19.1-OpenSSL-serial-i386.img" is starting successfully without any trouble on the same devices.
Kernel is loading, serial access is OK, all network interfaces are discovered and I can access the web interface on the live media.

How can I install it and have a working installation ?

Kind Regards

19.1 Legacy Series / Impossible to get a working bootable media for installation

« on: March 19, 2019, 04:55:08 pm »

Hello,

I'm totally loosed.
I'm using Ubuntu and I'm using dd with the following cli "sudo dd if='./19.1.i386/OPNsense-19.1-OpenSSL-serial-i386.img' of=/dev/sdb bs=16k status=progress" as specified in documentation.

I'm trying to install it on an appliance without vga and only a serial connection. This appliance has an HDD and a CompactFlash reader but no usb.
I tried using a HDD, a CompactFlash and get always a no bootable device.

That's not the first time i'm using dd. This appliance is starting without trouble using for example an ubuntu mini media transfered using dd on a CompactFlash.

So I tried with the vga-i386.img with same command iine to have a video output and tried to boot this device on another computer .... always the same result .... no boot sector ... no boot device.

PS: sha256sum of downloaded bz2 file are ok.

Any ideas ?

Thank you in advance.

Kind Regards
