PFSense install fails on ZFS

Vicecomes

I recently aquired a Sophos XG125 rev 3 firewall. A good appliance to install PFSense on.
However when installing PFSense on the internal SSD (64GB), the installation fails when I select the auto ZFS option. When picking UFS the installation finishes succesfully.

I get the error message:
Failed to select the installation disk followed by Failed to commit the file system changes.
I have already overwritten the entire disk with

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ada0 bs=1M count=64000 status=progress

Following this manual https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/troubleshooting/multiple-disks.html#clear-the-disk doesnt bring me any further either.

Any other ideas?

Hmm, so it shows the drive to allow you to select it but then fails?

Do you have any more logs running up to that error?

Yes. It shows the internal drive when I select it and continue it fails. But it finishes succesfully when selecting UFS.

Where can I view the installation logs?

After the install fails you should be able to see the installer log in /tmp. There are also other logs in /var/log.

Or you might just be able to see more output at the console before it fails.

Problem solved. I had to select the disk with the spacebar. In all menus before, i used enter to continue.
