      @stephenw10 Unfortunately, that's not the case. The first installation of pfSense is completely OK. I delete this virtual machine and want to install it again and I have this problem that I can't see the disk.

          Oh, so you are still running in VMWare? Can't you just kill the disk and recreate it then?

          What does the boot log show for detected drives?

              When you boot the installer it's shown on the screen. Or you can choose to escape to the shell and run dmesg.

                    In VMWare, just remove the drive and attach a new one. Or just deploy a new VM.

                    md3 is a memory disk used by the installer you can't use that.
