Boot nanobsd from USB

[HarfTarf]

I am used to running pfsense. But I want to migrate towards opnsense for many reasons (im sure most of you understand).

Although I am having severe difficulty getting this damned thing to boot.

When I setup a pfsense machine, I typically grab a usb flash drive, flash the embedded nanobsd image, and it boots without issue, and pretty much works perfectly for the most part.

I cant be the only one to experience this, has anyone else worked through an issue like this?

Hi there,

This should be the same for OPNsense so let's find the problem.

What device are you using? Is a monitor or serial console attached?


Cheers,

Hi,
I've use OPNsense for testing since 16.1.x.
I've always used the Nano-Image up to 17.1.x
Everything is running fine, so i think that your problems depend on the hardware you use.
