20.7 Legacy Series / Installer hangs at 'Trying to mount root from cd9660...'

Why doesn't OPNsense like me?
In deciding whether to use pfSense or OPNsense, I've seen several things online indicating that the OPNSense UI is better for people that are new to managing a firewall. And I'm just an ignorant Windows user.
So, I decided to go with OPNsense. Trying to install version 20.7, it scrolls through a list of things until it gets to
Trying to mount root from cd9660:/dev/iso9660/OPNSENSE_INSTALL [rol...
The solid cursor sits at the beginning of the next line and the install goes no further.
I can install FreeBSD 12.1 with no problem. I can install pfSense 2.4.5-p1 as well.
I have also tried OPNsense 20.1 and 19.1.4 just to see it stop at the same place. I can’t seem to find earlier versions of OPNsense. The links just result in 404 pages.
It might be easier to just go with pfSense but I would like to try OPNsens.
I’m using an old msi 890FXA-GD70 with a quad core AMD Phenom processor and 4GB of ram. It has onboard Realtek dual port network which BSD lists as compatible. This board doesn't give me the option of booting from USB, so I'm using the DVD image. I bought a WD 120GB SSD for this, though I’m now testing with a spinning drive.
I would think that if BSD is happy my environment, then OPNsense would be.
Any suggestion(s) as to what might be the problem?
