APU Install - 18.1

[sbtech]

I have been using APU's with PFSense and I have an extra that I was going to try opnsense with for the first time.

I downloaded the 18.1 nano image and write it to an SD card. First boot works, change a few settings and reboot and it won't boot. I have tried all the solutions I could find in the forums. Is there something I need to change during the first boot to keep it booting after initial boot.

The forum threads I read from late 2017 seamed to imply a fix was integrated into version 18.

When switching from 17 to 18.1 I had to reinstall from scratch due to disk problems. If I remember correctly this involved the following steps, that were quite straight forward:

• Download the image, use rufus to burn the image to an usb stick (iso mode)
• Boot from usb stick
• Use the installer user to run the opnsense install to the disk
• When rebooting make sure to boot from disk and not from usb stick
