Great, you're welcome! Happy to be a small help.

cwynd,

Can you do me a huge favour and try if this image works out of the box?

https://pkg.opnsense.org/snapshots/OPNsense-201703120533-OpenSSL-vga-amd64.img.bz2

You don't need to install, just boot and see if it comes up without the kern.vty trick. :)


Thanks,
Franco

Yep it boots 'as is', no problems.

btw, this is the hardware I'm working on: http://mitxpc.com/proddetail.php?prod=JBC200F9N-2930-B with the 4-port daughter board.

Certainly. Just downloading now..

That's the boot loader, not the running system. Can you show a picture of a completed boot?


Thanks,
Franco

Per my other reply just posted, I now have a display where I can see the boot sequence ok, so I think I am all set. The completed boot screen now shows the expected live boot running menu - but with the early installer option along the way, which I will invoke next :)
Thanks for help!

Thank you! This got me a display where I could see what's going on - it is indeed booting the live image, and now I can see the installer timeout messages (which were not visible before), so I am off & running now I believe.

Thanks again :)

Hi All,

I'm trying to install from the OPNsense-17.1-OpenSSL-vga-amd64.img via USB stick. Everything is fine until the OPNsense first menu, which does not correspond to the instructions: https://opnsense.org/users/get-started/ Step 3

I am seeing this, I see no 'Configure Console', 'Quick/Easy Install' etc:


If I let the default boot continue, I think a live image boots (I hear the little tune) but the console shows 'Booting' (white on blue) followed by 'EFI framebuffer information' and then nothing more. I get the same result on an HDMI output as on the vga panel in the image above.

This same hardware will boot a SystemRescue USB with no issues.

I've used the other *Sense for about 10 years, so I do know a little about what to expect.

What am I missing?
