Not sure what's up then. I litterally did this 2 days ago... wrote the VGA img to a usb with USB Image Tool, then booted to the 'live' installation, then typed in user "installer" password "opnsense" at the log-in prompt and followed the prompts and it installed.

From the Wiki:

Nano Image

If you have used a Nano image, your system is already up and running as it is designed as such. It is set to read-write attempting to minimise write cycles by mounting relevant partitions as memory file systems. If you should require an installer anyway, log in as user “root”, select option 8 from the menu and type “opnsense-installer”. The “opnsense-importer” can be run this way as well should you require to run the import again.

Create a bootable USB flash drive with the downloaded and unpacked img file. Configure your system to boot from USB.

Installation Steps

The installation process involves a few simple steps.

Note

To invoke the installer login with user installer and password opnsense

I should have read doc first. Also tryed to install via serial image with "installer" and "opnsense" and it didn't work so looed at the doc and finally use the CLI, option 8 and after, "opnsense-installer". Work fine.

I choosed "vga" version and used rufus to create bootable usb. You have to choose the bios/uefi option other than the default one, I forgot which one and I don't have any access to rufus right now so I cannot tell you more. Just try the option one by one.
