Fresh Install - can't find 'kernel'
-
I am doing a fresh install of PfSense using pfSense-LiveCD-2.2.2-RELEASE-amd64.iso
The hardware I am trying to install on is: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LGCTQDS?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01
+320 GB WD Black +4GB MemoryI am getting this message when trying to boot:
CD Loader 1.2 Building the boot loader arguments Looking up /BOOT/LOADER... Found Relocating the loader and the BTX Starting the BTX loader BTX loader 1.00 BTX version is 1.02 Consoles: internal video/keyboard BIOS drive C: is disk0 BIOS 628kB/3393716kB available memory FreeBSD/x86 bootstrap loader, revision 1.1 (root@pfs22-amd64-builder, Mon Apr 13 20:25:52 CDT 2015) | can't load 'kernel' Type '?' for a list of commands, 'help' for more detailed help. OK
Can anyone point me in the right direction so I can get this worked out? If any additional information is needed please let me know!
Any help is very much appreciated.

Redownload and check the ISO checksums before burning it?
Try with memstick instead? -
memstick install worked. Any idea why the DVD iso didn't work? I have used the same DVD to install it on other similar hardware. ISO checksums were all correct.

Hmmm, not really. My experience in general is that
- current optical media quality totally sucks
- current optical drives quality totally sucks
- the whole technology is a good riddance
Unless you have ancient HW not capable of booting from USB, the CD stuff is best avoided… (I'd suggest a PXE boot as alternative, but that's been screwed ever since FreeBSD 9.0 and noone cares.)
