      Hmm, so what happens if you try to boot USB in the normally way by entering run usbrecovery at the uboot prompt?

        @stephenw10 - good point, and this is what happens:

        Marvell>> usb reset
        resetting USB...
        USB0:   Register 2000104 NbrPorts 2
        Starting the controller
        USB XHCI 1.00
        USB1:   USB EHCI 1.00

        scanning bus 1 for devices... 1 USB Device(s) found
               scanning usb for storage devices... 1 Storage Device(s) found
        

        Then I run usbboot and I end up with this:

        If I instead run the run usbrecovery then it does this:

        ... and then it ends up the exact same place as the other command.

        Is it the eMMC that has completely broken?

          Yes, unfortunately that looks like a failed eMMC.

          It is possible to install to and boot from a second USB drive from the Net Installer. You may want to try that.

            @stephenw10 - I have now inserted a USB stick into the blue USB slot and the bootable USB in the other USB slot, but I don't get any option to select another target device. Also the documentation states:

            During the installation process the installer will prompt to select a target drive. The installer will then write pfSense Plus to the chosen drive. The Netgate-1100 device only supports its internal storage for this purpose, which is mmcsd0.

            Any hints on how that would be archieved?

              You are using the aarch64 net installer image? That should offer you a drive choice even if eMMC is the only officially supported one.

                @stephenw10 - I am using the image netgate-installer-aarch64.img.gz downloaded from the Netgate store not that long ago. This will give the IMG file of netgate-installer-v1.0-RC-aarch64-20240919-1435.img, which is what I have imaged to the USB.

                  Hmm, maybe try a different USB drive in the other slot then because I have tested installing to USB from that. Whilst it's a bit quirky it can work. I expect to see da1 offered as an install target.

                    @stephenw10 - I do not have much luck with this either it seems. This is from the two commands:

                    In the above then I find these things of interest:

                    GEOM: mmcsd0: the primary GPT table is corrupt or invalid.
                    GEOM: mmcsd0: using the secondary instead -- recovery strongly advised.
                    

                    So it seems to recognize there is a secondary option. Also, da0 is recognized:

                    da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 scbus0 target 0 lun 0
                    da0: <USB Flash Disk 8.07> Removable Direct Access SPC-2 SCSI device

                    But I am not at all presented with any choice to install anywhere else.

                    I have tried with all the USB sticks I have, with various formats and types. I don't have a real USB harddisk, but I would expect that if I can create a bootable USB that Netgate can use, then it should also work for this, right?

                    Is it important if the USB stick is formatted or all partitions deleted (though I have tried both)?

                    I am running out of options it seems :-/

                      However, this is when using a card reader in between - a card reader that can take several USB types and CF cards, but when using this, it will always come with this error. So, I expect this reader/writer is not compatible or alike - not sure, but I would expect my real USB sticks would be fine (ranging from 2GB to 32GB).

                        Oh, yes be sure to use the USB drive directly. I've never managed to get it to work correctly via any sort of adapter.

                        You may also need to fully power cycle it to reset the USB controller after seeing error like that.

                        You should see both da0 and da1 in the boot logs when both drives are correctly detected.

                          @stephenw10 - can you tell what kind of USB stick you have used, and in which USB port it was located in (I expect blue, as this must be USB3?)? Maybe I can replicate that?

                            When I did it I used a USB2 drive in the USB2 slot because when both drives are present it tries to boot from the USB3 slot first. You should be able to move it afterwards.

                            It should at least recognise both drives in the boot messages if it is booting.
