OPNsense - vCD Install

« on: April 11, 2023, 04:39:13 pm »

Hello all,

I am installing OPNsense on a VMware vCD implementation. When I run the OPNsense install it blows up bc it looks for an EFI partition. On this vCD I only can do BIOS based installs. How do I change the default to BIOS, so this does not keep blowing up?

Thanks,
Steve

The vCD I am on has ZFS support enabled, so I need to pick ZFS as my install type. UFS blows up.

Keep in mind that ZFS is copy-on-write. So a thick provisioned disk image is recommended. A thin image will grow to maximum size, anyway.
