17.1 Legacy Series / Re: OPNsense install from a USB key

My experience with rufus 2.11 under Win7:
Rufus dosen't like the iso files. It says "This image is either non-bootable, or it uses a boot or compression method that is not supported by Rufus..."
The img files can be written with the "DD Image" mode. Ok, i also got a bluescreen after the write process. But I think it's my Win7 system which has problems with USB Sticks in gpt format. The created USB Stick itself boots fine and i was able to install opnsense without problems.
Someone else says GParted shows errors on the USB Stick. In my case it says "The backup GPT table is not at the end of the disk as it should be". Yes, I wrote the 906MB image to a 8GB USB Stick. So this warning make sense to me.
