You can interrupt the boot process at the loader menu to reach the loader prompt. Then enter there:
set hint.ichsmb.0.disabled=1 bootThen you can boot into the installer as normal. You can also do that at the first boot after install so it boots normally before adding the loader.conf.local file.
Cool, thanks! I'll give that a shot this morning. Well, after I move a $hit-ton of snow.
Once I get the backup router stable on 23.01... Is there any issue with setting that config under the working 22.05 build before I start the update??

Nope - that was what I was originally going to do, and prob should of done. But it was good experience to see the flooding, it is a lot! ;)

It sure is! Interestingly it doesn't actually prevent you installing if you know what the expected input is. Obviously that's not an option for many people but if you just keep hitting return it will install with the default values.

Thanks Gents!
I'll get to it a bit later... tractor is getting warmed up, got work to do.
Steve, if your people do need a real world test on a fix, I'll be glad to run it up on my spare.

John, I know you had a lot of good info on moving to ZFS back when 2.5.2 was new... Do you have anything written up (or committed to memory) on best practices when setting up ZFS on your 4860?Rick

@ramosel so not really - just using default whatever pfsense sets up out of the box to be honest.

Never mind. Just added with "vi".

@Ramosel @johnpoz Would it be possible to accomplish this with the "System patches" mechanism by creating a custom patch?
Good question... I'm sure it could have been created as a patch.
Are you installing the latest version (as of today, 23.05.1)?
Is it still even needed? I haven't removed the line I put into /boot.loader.conf.local.I would have thought they would have included a system check on the pfSense+ version and accounted for this issue in the update.

@Ramosel It definitely was still needed. The line made the logs quiet.

Thanks for the info. I guess I need to edit the file when I build my new install stick.
Stephen, since this affects Netgate hardware, is there any effort being put into testing for the affected hardware and fixing the issue on the fly? Or will this just always be a problem from now on?
Not complaining, just trying to figure out what I need to put into my recovery docs or not.Rick

Yes, it's fixed 'correctly' upstream now. it just wasn't accepted soon enough to be included in 23.05.1.

It will be fixed in 23.09.
