Installation asking for FreeBSD login
-
Hi,
I am trying to get started with pfsense but for some reason I cannot get the installation started correctly.
Everything boots as normal from usb drive but then when the first Installation screen is shown It does not allow me to select "Install". I dont even get a chance to select anything, it just skips the blue prompt screen.
I get the text:
Starting cron. Starting background file system checks in 60 seconds.
And after that it starts prompting for login
FreeBSD/amd64 <Amnesiac> <ttyv0> login:
Have tested several different USB sticks and both Legacy and UEFI, and following pfsense images.
- pfSense-CE-2.7.2-RELEASE-amd64.iso.gz
- pfSense-CE-memstick-2.7.2-RELEASE-amd64.img.gz
Hardware
Motherboard: Z97I-Plus BIOS Ver. 2704
CPU: I3-4130Grateful for anyone who can point me in the right direction.

You should use the memstick image. Try redownloading the image and check the checksum. That looks like a bad image or bad write.

I had the same problem. For me, it was a faulty console cable that caused the exactly same issue. With a different console cable, the problem did not occur.
