Re-Installing pfSense onto SG-4860 - locked up at booting

NickPVT

I have attempted to follow the steps located at https://www.netgate.com/docs/sg-4860/reinstall-pfsense.html but seem to get stuck just before Step 5. I see the pfSense menu in step 4, then
some kernal related information. About 30 seconds later "Booting…" appears but then everything locks up. Here are some details of my setup:

SG-4860 hardware
Connected via serial console
Image to create bootable USB is pfSense-netgate-memstick-serial-2.3.4-RELEASE-amd64.img.gz (verified via the SHA256)
Attempted with multiple USB keys of various sizes
Tried both WIN32DiskImager and Rufus to create bootable USB stick

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you!

Possible that you Ctrl-C -> Ctrl-V this :

Wrong image. You need something with "ADI" in it so you get the correct serial console settings.

I will try the ADI image and post the results.

Solved, the install was successful.

I believe my confusion with the ADI images was because i read documentation indicating they were for RCC-* devices.

Thank you!
