      Hi newbie here .

      I have trouble in rebooting PFS it stops with a message Enter pathname or Return /bin/bash
      I believe i have an issue with the boot loader. so i purchase another m2 Sata SSD & formated it and boot up from usb. Now on the new ssd it boots without the pFS logo and stops approx 2 thirds down, there i unable to get to the blue configuration stage.

      i don't want to format the original m2 ssd until i have a working system again.

      I am not sure what the issue is or if there is a solution. Any advice would be appreciatedcolored text

        Do you have a screen shot of where it stops?

        Exactly which image did you use on the USB drive?

          Thanks for your comment , your are correct regarding the image i used the serial image , i was think about last night and down loaded the VGA image , this worked a treat this morning. I was going to mark this as solved .

          Thanks,

          Mike
