      Does it boot into single user mode successfully?

      You can always reinstall clean though. If you're running something ancient like 2.4 or 2.5 I'd recommend doing that anyway.

        This page says that the available recovery images are not compatible with the SG-3100

          Yup the new Netgate Installer doesn't support the 3100. So open a TAC ticket and quest the 3100 image. That will allow you reinstall 24.03 directly.

            I filled out the TAC support request form and hit the submit button and nothing happens

              You have some browser plugin blocking anything? Same in different browsers?

                It seems firefox has a problem with the TAC page. I tried edge. When I hit submit it opens in the netgate shopify site, There is a dropdown to select the desired recovery image. There is no SG-3100 image listed.

                  Yes, as I said, the new installer doesn't support armv7 systems like the 3100. You need to open a TAC ticket to request the 3100 recovery image.

                    Netgate support sent me the correct recovery image, the SG-3100 is now working. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HELP- Chris

                            That will only be valid for a week but you can always open a ticket to request the current image.
