I am not sure anymore, but considering the fact that I have a seperate USB Stick on which OPNsense has been written via DD in Linux I guess that's the way to go if you want to be 100% sure that it will boot :)

The procedure written here : https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/install.html#installation-media
Is similar to what I did, so just follow those instructions if you are on Linux/*BSD/MacOS/etc...

!! Make sure you pick the right image to start with : https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/install.html#installation-images !!
Weird guy who likes everything Linux and *BSD on PC/Laptop/Tablet/Mobile and funny little ARM based boards :)

when I tried a few months ago, it didn't. It started to boot, then crashed before the user prompt on the console.

Yes, it works!
You need to use UEFI mode, as LEGACY mode does not work.
Every morning, I wake up and check the Forbes list first. If I'm not on it, I go to work.
