Any luck?

I have a Netgate 6100 as well and was thinking of giving OPNsense another try. It's been years since I last used it.

My wife will kill me if I take down the Wi-Fi one more time this week ;D We had a lot of downtime hahaha.

I will give it a shot next week and report back.

No it's a good question :) I only installed pfSense 2.4.4.

It might be a hardware compatibility issue with the FreeBSD version that comes with OPNsense. Just a wild guess.

I gave up. Back to pfSense.

I (finally) managed to install OPNsense on my Qotom box but sadly encounter a new issue.

Completing the wizard after installing to the local hard disk drive (SSD) is not an issue. Things went south as soon as I rebooted the machine.

The errors I'm getting: https://tweakers.net/ext/f/61Nb85twZgIWqcRgavtBoAI7/full.jpg

Basically

ahcich0: Timeout on slot 24 port 0
WRITE_FPDMA_QUEUED
CAM status: Command timeout
Retrying command

And this keeps on going getting nowhere.

I do not have this issue with Debian or pfSense.

Anyone a clue maybe?

Managed to resolve this after two very frustrating nights. I think it was an issue related to an old MBR or broken GPT configuration.

Steps to resolve:

1. Connect an USB flash drive (to my Mac)
2. diskutil list (check who's who)
3. diskutil umount disk2s1 (unmount the flash drive - in my case disk2s1)
4. gzcat pfSense-CE-memstick-2.4.4-RELEASE-amd64.img.gz | sudo dd of=/dev/rdisk2 bs=1m (deploy the image)
5. Install pfSense on the Qotom box using the USB flash drive

Success. The hard disk drive is now OK and ready for OPNsense. Continuing:

6. Connect the USB drive to the Mac once again
7. diskutil list
8. diskutil umount disk2s1
9. sudo dd bs=1m if=OPNsense-18.7-OpenSSL-vga-amd64.img of=/dev/rdisk2

Et voilà.. I am now installing OPNsense!

I'm trying to install OPNsense (for the first time) on my Qotom box using USB. But no luck. This is the error I'm getting during the initial startup:

mountroot: waiting for device /dev/ufs/OPNsense_Install...
Mounting from ufs:/dev/ufs/OPNsense_Install failed with error 19.

etc. etc.

Anything I can do to resolve this issue?
