19.7 Legacy Series / Install Problems - Solved

« on: December 30, 2019, 04:59:44 pm »

Having a pretty torrid time attempting to install OPNSense onto a Lanner SBC (32bit Celery M) with a single SSD. Installing from a USB stick OPNsense 19.7 img file, using the installer Manual Install, produces a disc that won't boot. It gets as far as displaying: FreeBSD/x86 bootstrap loader, Revision 1.1 but won`t start OPNsense.

This is the display:

F1 FreeBSD
F6 PXE
Boot : F1

BTX loader 1.8B BTX version is 1.82
Consoles: internal video/ keyboard
BIOS drive C: is disk0
BIOS 639kB/2087744kB available memory

FreeBSD/x86 bootstrap loader, Revision 1.1


I know it isn`t the hardware or BIOS, because copying the 19.7 image directly to the SSD boots and runs fine.

Does anyone have any ideas, or can you point me to some detailed documentation on how the install and boot processes work please? I'm perfectly happy to dive in and do the install by hand, but I cant find any documentation for that.

19.7 Legacy Series / How do I convert a LiveCD install to a permanent install

« on: December 27, 2019, 12:36:05 am »

I copied the image file to my ssd and the system boots and runs fine. But how do I convert it from livecd mode to perm ant mode? When I login as installer it just tries to initialise the ssd which obviously isn’t going to happen. I must be missing something obvious. TIA. Cheers Tim
