    I am trying to repurpose my sg3100 but I want to install an m.2 to do so. I already have a recovery image, although old at 2.4.5 (pfSense-netgate-SG-3100-recover-2.4.5-RELEASE-armv6.img), I have used this image a few times in the past on the emmc storage. I ran the run recovery and installed to ada0 and then to boot to the m.2 I ran "setenv bootcmd 'run setLED; run m2boot;'" which it took but when I try booting, I get stuck on a the following.

    Error: SCSI Controller(s) 1B4B:9215 1B4B:9235 not found
    scanning bus for devices...
      Device 0: (1:0) Vendor: ATA Prod.: TS128GMTS430S Rev: 22Z2

    Couldnt find anything searching around for it so hoping someone can help me out.

    Thanks!

      Did you run saveenv after setting the bootcmd value?

      You should open a ticket and get the current recovery image:

          I had the same issue and stumbled upon an older post noting that you need

          setenv m2dev 1
          

          which the documentation fails to mention.

          I hope this saves anybody else some time.

            Ah, yes if you don't have that set already (it should be) then it would need to be set.

              Thanks! Support actually sent me that this morning so going to give a shot later on. At least I know that helps.
