      @stephenw10 Yes, with rebooting works, but you must enable CE repos in Advanced Setting if you want to install CE. I instaled, Beta installer 7, first nothing, after reboot, no shut down, reboot, enabled CE repos and it worked.

        @stephenw10 I just tried on a mini PC HUNSN, installer works very messy, at boot as i get it to work after 2 Hours with pfsense CE iso, it does not show pfsense, but FreeBSD.
        I didn't get to install from netgate Beta 7 installer. error coud not get something like time, pkg ..

        I checked Mini PC with Windows , Linux, works perfect.

              @mak73 i gave up for now, i tried 4 hours, always the same, and at the end of my old iso 2.7.2 showed also some write error. I'll wait, maybe in near future will be ok.

                Hmm, well if you can replicate it and get the actual errors we can look at it. It should show why it's failing there.

                    @mak73 So i tried again,
                    the problem is that i want to use UFS, not ZFS, with ZFS i can installs, but GUI is a littlte bit slow somehow. But i don't want to use ZFS with one nvme SSD.

                      You can choose UFS in the Net Installer. Is that causing a problem somehow?

                          @mak73 But i want to inform that in VirtualBox i installed with UFS and there was not a problem.
                          What is also annoying, is , i have connected a Cherry Keyboard, and on some 30 seconds comes connected, disconnected, but it works, and would be nice to choose Keyboard Layout language.
                          Later, after installation with ZFS, i made a Ports Alias (80,443,25,...) Whole Internet Range, than Guest VLAN, with a Firewall Rule, first Allow DNS, than allow Alias, the Guests gets a ip, but no Internet.
                          In VirtualBox all of this works great. I still think that the problem is somehow within installation.
                          Maybe is a Hardware conditional.
                          Latter i installed a ipfire to test of maybe defective Hardware, but all worked out.

                            Hmm, so, to be clear, you can install as UFS in VBox? But fails in some other device?

                            Connectivity issues after install are not related to the installer.

                                OK so how does it fail when you try to install on that other device?

                                What is that other device?

                                  @stephenw10 The Device:
                                  https://www.amazon.de/Firewall-Appliance-HUNSN-Barebone-Storage-H-N100/dp/B0C8J2Q5TB/ref=sr_1_3?__mk_de_DE=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&crid=1I77SRBLAY78G&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.EGGFqxZz9P19Fw0NPPD79L3Av5mGwCyEKU1ihvR7lpJ3YJRYzxaQoSlxDrc-szpPhWQttC3bqn66MUUKe-2h11cH5ilUUt_gHehvUpM6Xum0fIpgdPnGrXMEDVZ1jwvcYAShrNSjp42rXjNR-Owqwiu7f9Dt__yL4XDJA7Qv8DlHjGMxJ4d7LML8G-soxWE1-TwnP9urXAV0sYs3GQDoYkrsTUyd2G8QQTL6eh2WcmI.JPuFlUPE1MVqOuq6SjzAtIpFlx6g-CgEQmYZrIN6QHM&dib_tag=se&keywords=HUNSN%2Bmini%2Bpc&qid=1719206239&sprefix=hunsn%2Bmini%2Bpc%2Caps%2C112&sr=8-3&th=1

                                  And it fails with:

                                    @mak73 I tried other Software (Linux, Windows and yesterday Opnsense on UFS on this device, and all worked, but i want to use pfSense on UFS, not ZFS.
                                    What i tried: Netgate installer img, iso, created with dd under Linux, than Balena Etcher and Rufus.
                                    With UFS always the same error. During installation i choose PPPoE put my username and pass and it starts, but ends always with that error. With ZFS than goes, but at reboot i don't see pfSense Logo, but FreeBSD.

                                      @mak73 I may have missed it, but does pfSense install OK if you use a physical image?

                                          Aha, so you are using PPPoE. Do you have a screenshot of that error? I can try to replicate it.

                                          Installing from the legacy image should work though.
