        I can't view that, it says it was removed.

            Urgh. That BIOS has many many errors! Make sure it's running the most recent BIOS there may be updates with fixes.

            What is that you are booting exactly?

              @stephenw10 I am trying to boot / load pfsense from scratch inside of the usb stick and the version 2.4.5 - (Latest Version) -Downloaded 1 day ago.

              This is normal? I don't know what is going on with it.. I'm just trying to have pfsense on.

                Also I know if I have the iso file that has the line : hint.acpi.0.disabled="1" everything will be ok. Is there a way to modify the iso itself because I have tried and I can't seem to make it work...

                  Well : https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/hardware/boot-troubleshooting.html

                  But I advise you to download another image first : stock FreeBSD 11.0 ( see freebsd.org ). That should load and install. If not, ditch the system. If it does, pfSense might actually work.

                  No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
                  Edit : and where are the logs ??

                    It looks like you're not seeing the loader menu, where you can reach the loader prompt, because you're booting UEFI.
                    Can you boot legacy on that box?

                    Also are you actually using the ISO file on a USB stick?
                    If so then don't do that, use the memstick VGA image:
                    https://nyifiles.pfsense.org/mirror/downloads/pfSense-CE-memstick-2.4.5-RELEASE-amd64.img.gz

                    How do you know it will be OK if you disable ACPI? Most modern hardware will not boot at all with ACPI disabled.
                    What hardware are you trying to install to?

                      @stephenw10 Kangaroo computer with 2gb of ram and storage of 28gb. Intel cpu. Yes I can boot into the bios settings. The bios are really limited on what you can do.. - (Boot Legacy).

                      I'm trying to install pfsense on this mini computer. - (like normal)

                      I am trying the image you gave, I'll respond back soon. (5-10 Mins ish)

                      Lastly, I don't know if it will be ok because there is an error with ACPI for some reason.

                      edit: - (1 min later)
                      I'm guess this isn't normal because I downloaded the image with xcp-ng; xen server and everything is working that was 3 days ago before ever trying to make this tiny computer to work..

                        You can't edit an ISO image but you can edit the memstick image once it's written to the drive if you need to. It's UFS so you need something that can read/write that, like FreeBSD.

                        So it's one of these?: https://www.pcmag.com/reviews/infocus-kangaroo-mobile-desktop
