@mnobrega I can't find much on this unit at all. Their other units use Intel CPUs so you may be able to grab the iso, image it to a usb stick and boot from it if the unit allows that. Do you know if it has NICs that are supported by FreeBSD 12?

@kom i use serial memstick image. and I boot from the console but only this "|" character appears
Nothing else. I even sent a message to the manufacturer and he replied that version 8.2 freebsd was tested

@mnobrega You may have to check its BIOS to see if the boot order is correct to boot from USB, if it even supports that.

@kom in the bios I put the boot to the pendrive. if I put an old version of pfsense it boots correctly but doesn't go past the splash screen. gets stuck with cant find boot entropy message

@mnobrega

Boot from install media results in “can’t find '/boot/entropy'”

@kom this post already checked, in the bios does not have CSM.

@kom Can I post the prints I have of the bios screens here on the forum?

@mnobrega If you like.

@kom this is the bios screen of the apliance I have here. I put the screens to see if you guys help me configure for pfsense installation

@mnobrega First thing I would try is failsafe defaults, followed by optimal defaults.

Can we see the boot log showing exactly where it stops responding?

I assume you're connecting with Putty at 115200bps?

@mnobrega Is there any option in the BIOS to change the boot option to BIOS as opposed to UEFI only? and or change to legacy??

‘Legacy Boot Enable, Secure Boot Disable’.

Voce conseguiu fazer o display funcionar??

@rhallado ele funciona, mas esta com os caracteres desconhecidos. ainda não tive tempo pra procurar essa configuração. Mas se vc já tiver essa config fique a vontade para compartilhar comigo.
