OPNsense-15.7.11-OpenSSL-AMD64, tried both, iso written to cdrom and image written to USB.

9 out of 10 times installation would be stuck at one specific point (64% at default options for keymaps etc), I gave it half an hour and then manually rebooted the machine. One time I managed to complete install, system instantly shut itself down after I pressed F1 for boot (bootloader). And it also kept shutting itself down while attempting automatic boot.

Suggestions?

EDIT:
Machine in question is AMD AM1 platform, cpu AMD Athlon 5350 and motherboard is Asus Am1M-a, equipped with Sandisk SSD and Intel dual-nic, nothing else.

How much RAM does it have? Under 512MB you might have issues.
Hobbyist at home, sysadmin at work. Sometimes the first is mixed with the second.

If you chose the live CD option, does it boot up ok with web GUI and all?

Change your controller type to IDE in Bios if its set to AHCI. That particular AMD controller does that. It will fix the problem when you do. Please revert back.

Yes, it was on AHCI because I used SSD. Eventually got past the issue and installed.
