How to "install" opnsense on hdd with usb?
« on: February 09, 2018, 05:41:57 pm »
 Created bootable media with different images. Earned only nano and serial.
I used Win32DiskImager or USB Image Tool for this.

The system boots, everything is ok. I go under: root / opnsense.
But the problem is that it's like livecd.

How to install from bootable usb to hdd?

Previously used iso in virtualbox. There were no problems, everything worked as it should and was installed without problems.
But iso I could not write to the USB flash drive

Hi,

you can transfer the iso image of OPNSense with rufus to the USB drive: https://rufus.akeo.ie/

Afterwards you should be able to boot OPN from that drive. If you login with "root" and use "install" as password, the installation wizzard will start so you can install OPN to HDD.

Try "Create bootable disk using: DD" - that's what worked for me.

You choose "iso", that's why I wrote you should try "DD" instead.

If you open rufus log, you can observe during the attempt to initialize the image:

Don't download the iso. Download the "vga" image, decompress, write it to USB with dd.

Oh, in that case, you install it as usual...

Let it boot the live cd.

At the logon prompt, instead of typing 'root' user, type 'installer' user, then 'opnsense' as the password. It will install to the HD.

They changed the installation process a couple of revs back.

vga my installation does not work, only with serial or nano.
serial constantly tries to mount, but nothing comes out
nano is ok, but the password is not suitable:
installer
opnsense

accept only:
root
opnsense
