      this would only be for netgate appliances - I am not aware of generic install for non netgate devices.

      That's what I was trying to say (by the "no"...), without enough coffee. Thanks. :)

      Almost all of the Netgate hardware models have their own (re)install instructions at https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/solutions/ which is what their support will send with the image.

      Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
      When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

          And now they have come up with the official solution for 1100 and 2100… politely I didn’t write this before, but I’m not surprised I guessed it… the gave the finger and woke reinstall from scratch is the only solution.
          Looks like these are the advantages of official supported hardware!

            Pardon me but there is no fix for your system that has too-small a partition except re-imaging.

            The engineers are still working on getting the script tested and verified so that if your system has too small a EFI partition the upgrade attempt stops so that it does not keep it from being bootable.

              @rcoleman-netgate Q: will 1100/2100 that are not on 22.05, and can't upgrade to 23.01, be able to upgrade to 22.05? We have a few non-managed clients that had not yet upgraded to 22.05, and can only get to 23.01 via reinstall, which means an on-site visit.

                @steveits They should but you want to make sure you set the right upgrade branch.

                  I am having issues upgrading my "System Netgate 1100" which below is the information of the system. Are there issues with the 1100 Netgate devices at this time?

                  Here is the error messages:

                    @_chadtech Yes. Apparently the post unpins itself (??) but https://forum.netgate.com/topic/178049/pfsense-plus-23-01-updates-on-the-1100-and-2100-systems/.

                    Short version: they're working on a way for unaffected devices to upgrade, or you can manually reinstall if you don't want to wait.

                        We can set that for a period of time, not permanently, it appears. Or at least I can only do it for a period of time.
