I am a new user to OPNsense comming from using PFsense for years.

I ran into a few issues using OPSense on my Protectli VAULT v1410.

When installing a fresh build initially I had only one issue with regard to a CAM timeout that apears to be a FreeBSD issue. When I removed the USB stick from the usb ports on boot this resolved the issue.

After upgrading to the latest build : 26.7.4_1
I ran into an issue where physical VGA output and serial console access were both lost after initial boot.
The console would show messages and then just stop.

I managed to resolve the console issue with the following:

Issue workaround:

GO into GUI : System → Settings → Administration → Console

Set following:

Primary Console:      VGA Console
Secondary Console:    Serial Console
Serial Speed:         115200
USB-based serial:     UNCHECKED
Console menu:         CHECKED

In my system after a fresh install, Secondary console was set to NONE.

I am going to see if I can figure out a workaround for the CAM delay issue when a KVM device is plugged into the firewall.

Ill post back here with results.

I hope this might help anyone with similar issues on this build.
