Install freezes on Guided or Manual installations

[douglasg14b]

I'm trying to install OPNSense 18.1 and the installation freezes in two different areas on both the guided and manual installations.

In the guided install, it freezes on "Continue with a recommended swap partition of size 8192M?" when I select No. On the manual install it freezes on the screen where it asks me if I want to partition the drive and I select "Skip this step".

Example of where it freezes on guided:

Any idea why this might be happening? How can I get the install to continue?

I think it's from a UEFI / font issue, some notes on this here:

That very closely describes the issue I'm having. I will attempt your 'set kern.vty=sc' suggestion, and reply to the github thread with my results.
