      I was reinstalling pfsense on a Intel Atom D2500 Dual LAN, Dual COM Fanless Mini-ITX PC, D2500CCE, 2GB, T3410 .  It was installing okay until something happened and now whenever I try to boot it up it gives me this error.

      
      FreeBSD/x86 boot 
      Default: 0:ad(0,a)/boot/kernal/kernel 
      boot: 
      
      

      note:  hitting enter at this menu says

      No /boot/kernel/kernel
      

      I have two questions.

      1)  How do I get this to let me installed a fresh copy of Pfsense again?

      2)  Does the FreeBSD/x86 mean it had the 32 bit version of pfsense installed previously or does both the 32 bit/64 bit say that at this stage of the boot loader?

      edit:  Solution found.

      Even though the bios menu options no longer displayed theself anymore.  Holding F2 still invoked them and I was able to change the boot order.

        Dude, your BIOS not displayed is not a pfSense issue. Sounds like your MB is more or less toast.

          After another failed attempt at installing pfsense, it can no longer find my hard drive.  Everything appears to be operating normally.  Interestingly enough, after this failed attempt, I started to see the bios menu pop up again.

            Yup. Perhaps get a working HDD.

              I finished testing.  The Kingston 16GB 16G SATAIII SSD is dead.  The brand new drive died after 15 months of use.
