2.5.0 nightly ISO install broken

[delu]

@jimp Ok, but that's not an ISO. I was installing to an ESXi, it's a few more hoops to jump through to install an img... But I'll give it a go.

[jimp]

It has "iso" in the name, though, so it should still be usable as an iso if you rename it.

I just tried latest, rename .img to iso - and it boots.. But yeah stuck here

It just flips back and forth when you hit enter

This is using
pfSense-CE-iso-2.5.0-DEVELOPMENT-amd64-20210201-2350

edit: just tried this one and doing the same thing
pfSense-CE-iso-2.5.0-DEVELOPMENT-amd64-20210201-1628

Hi,

I'm having the same problem.
I'm using pfSense-CE-2.5.0-DEVELOPMENT-amd64-latest.iso

[jimp]

I opened an issue to track the problem at https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/11361

For those who can reproduce it, is it limited to just the ISO? Do you get the same behavior with the memstick?

[Volnei]

Hi,

I didn't do tests with the memstick, only with ISO.

Thanks.

same here, stuck on install

/etc/rc.local: bsdinstall: not found

i'm using this link for the iso
https://snapshots.pfsense.org/amd64/pfSense_master/installer/pfSense-CE-2.5.0-DEVELOPMENT-amd64-latest.iso.gz
and it's only 175MB

[jimp]

Never use the "-latest" link, you have no idea what you are fetching.

Also see above, the filename changed (though perhaps not intentionally, we're still working on it), so that link hasn't worked in a few days.

[Volnei]

I understand. But I only tried to use this file because the correctly named (...) DEVELOPMENT-amd64 - (...).iso didn't work either.

@jimp

i find the bugs about 10 days.

@jimp Do you get the same behavior with the memstick?

yes. i am using memstick, it still can't work.

Can confirm this is fixed. Just ran the 5th Feb 2021 ISO and it works.
Thanks for the quick fix!
