      Hello guys,

      Tried all kinds of settings in BIOS, but no luck โ˜น

      So, the boot process still halts and needs a keyboard 'enter'. Is there a way I can add a keyboard 'enter' into the startup file? Preferably with a delay of 5 seconds?

        how old is that MOBO?
        no newer BIOS than 2018

        it seems to me it is also struggling with a Y2K problem ๐Ÿ˜‚
        because the system time on it 07-01-7920 ????๐Ÿ˜

        +++edit: sorry no time + date ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

        flash the BIOS again, on it

        Cats bury it so they can't see it!

          I will try and find the latest BIOS of this MOBO, while 2018 is not old I think...

            It might be time to retire that hardware if the BIOS is that stubborn. No modern BIOS would hang like that (or shouldn't).

                  "system time on it 07-01-7920 ????" ๐Ÿ˜‰

                  and this is absolutely not normal
                  you know that, how many processes use the system time / date

                    I am still under the impression, that it hangs while pfSense is starting up, see linked image. And BTW the system is just 6 months old.

                      But that is not a problem that pfSense users routinely report. In fact, hardly any do.

                      pfSense is really FreeBSD, and FreeBSD is an older lineage Unix type operating system. It tends to lag behind other operating systems in new hardware feature support (especially when compared to say Windows or even Linux). UEFI secure booting can be a problem sometimes on certain hardware with FreeBSD. If your BIOS provides a means to disable that, I would try without that being enabled.
