How to "install" opnsense on hdd with usb?

[guest17399]

 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.

I already tried rufus

[Mr.Goodcat]

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

[guest17399]

Look at my settings ... I do.
I choose .iso and press start

I rufus record images constantly, and here in any ...

[Mr.Goodcat]

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

[guest17399]

DD already tried - same thing

He does not write a bootloader for Iso

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

Image is an ISO9660 image
libcdio: Unsupported Rock Ridge extension detected: 'RE'

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

I've already written something a while back with a ton of screenshots. Let me know if you have any questions.

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
