All:
I am sorry I was rude.  I am new here.  I am a convert from pfsense.  I am nobody special.  Just an old nerd from Tennessee.  I love packets, shells, and scripts  8) All things tech are my happy place.

I like friendly forums and you all seem great.  I have lurked for awhile.  I love the direction OPNsense is going.  Did not see a intro forum so here as good as any I suppose..

I was able to get installed on the 2440.  I went out on the WayBack Machine and found the old guide.  Pretty helpful.  https://web.archive.org/web/20160417072530/http://www.netgate.com/docs/rcc-ve-2440/opnsense.html

Was thinking asking if you all would like me to post the process I used.  The issue I had with the Serial port is it was locked on the Pfsense device.

from the guide on the WayBack Machine.
Changing the option to enable or disable password protection on the console menu in the OPNsense GUI will not work since this has the effect of altering /etc/ttys for the entries of ttyv0 and ttyu0 when the system console actually runs on ttyu1. Modify the ttys file to enable the correct serial port. In OPNsense, console password protection is enabled by default. Run the appropriate command based on whether password protection enabled or disabled:

mv /etc/ttys /etc/ttys.orig
To disable password protection:

echo 'ttyu1 "/usr/libexec/getty al.115200" vt100 onifconsole secure' > /etc/ttys
