I am trying to install opensense on a unit, it has no VGA it only has console and gbe ports. That being said I have tried all the images write to USB it seems everyone wants to run on the USB and not install. I have watched a few youtube videos and have a feeling I am missing something basic.

TLDR: Install not happening only running from USB, I am missing something basic. Please advise.

QuoteThe system will then continue into a live environment. If the config importer was used previously on an existing installation, the system will boot up with a fully functional setup, but will not overwrite the previous installation. Use this feature for safely previewing upgrades.

If you have used a DVD, VGA, Serial image you are by default able to start the installer using the user "installer" with password "opnsense". On a previously imported configuration the password will be the same as root's password.
