17.7 Legacy Series / OPNsense vs. pfsense on Soekris net6501 - HELP!
« on: January 01, 2018, 10:51:10 pm »
Well, I have good news and bad news.
I've been trying for days to get OPNsense 17.7.5 to run on my Soekris net6501-50, and it never worked.
I've tried burning the USB stick using the nano image as many possible ways as I could and it simply does not work.
I downloaded pfSense 2.3.5, burned the image to the same exact USB stick using Windows 10 and rufus. Worked perfectly the first time. I configured it, and it now is up and running replacing M0n0wall 1.8.1 which is what was running on that hardware until yesterday.
I want to be running OPNsense... how can this be done? It doesn't install the way your site says that it does.
My Soekris is USB only - it does not have an mSATA hard disk installed.
