Only 1st USB stick listed instead of 2nd USB stick for configuration import

[KoS]

I have two USB sticks: one with the installer, and one with a configuration back (GPT, FAT32, /conf/config.xml).

I can successfully boot up the installer from the 1st USB stick on an alix apu2 board. Unfortunately the 2nd stick doesn't show up neither in the opnsense-importer, nor if i check manually with geom disk list or camcontrol devlist.

When I connect the 2nd stick, it shows me in the terminal that an USB device got attached:

Code Select Expand

ugen0.3: <SanDisk Ultra USB 3.0> at usbus0
umass1 on uhub1
umass1: <SanDisk Ultra USB 3.0, class 0/0, rev 3.00/1.00, addr 2> on usbus0
umass1:  SCSI over Bulk-Only; quirks = 0xc100
umass1:3:1: Attached to scbus3


Any idea what I am doing wrong? I suppose at that "level" (geom disk list) it does NOT depend if it is MBR/GPT and what kind of filesystem.

(FYI, the installed SSD and the installer USB stick show up as devices ada0 and da0)

Update: after installing the system from the 1st USB stick and booting into the new system with only the 2nd USB stick connected, i could run the importer from command line and select that stick. So the problem seems not to be the stick, but OPNsense that only shows the installer stick during installation and not both sticks?
