Sophos SG 115 Rev 2 to pfsense or opensense
-
Do you see any output from the BIOS at the VGA console?
It may only be accessible via serial. Though that would be unusual.
-
very good. you have to know that first. I can get into the BIOS with the console via DEL. Do I have to change something so that I can install pfsense?
-
You might have to change the boot order to allow USB booting. Or choose the USB install device to boot from one time manually.

Take a look at this hread:

maybe some of the hints are useful for you too ...

Hello everyone
Many thanks for your help. I was able to install pfsense now. But when I start I always have to use the command ( set kern.vty="sc" ). I saw an operation that someone put in the /boot/loader.conf file. Unfortunately, the firewall does not start simply, but only when I set the command (set kern.vty="sc" ) under option 3. is there a solution for this too?
Error where comes: /etc/hostid
thank you

as far as I know in loader.conf.local
kern.vty="sc"
should be enough ... -
@fireodo
the file loader.conf.local does not exist in the /boot folder. Ok then I'll take the set away. -
many thanks again. now everything works as it should. :-)

You created a loader.conf.local? Then the settings you set here will also survive a system upgrade.
-
no, I deposited the setting in the loader.conf. So should I better create a new file with the name: loader.conf.local and store the command there.

Yes - as I mentioned, the settings will stay even on a system upgrade (loader.conf gets overwritten on a update/upgrade)
