      Hello,

      I have an issue during the installation.

      My HW is the following:

      • APU.1D4 1 GHz Dual-Core T40E, AMD G series T40E, 1 GHz dual Bobcat core with 64 bit support and 4 GB DDR3-1066 DRAM.
      • mSATA SSD Module, 16GB, MLC NAND Flash
      • 802.11a/b/g/n, Mini-PCI-Express, WLE200NX, 20dBm, 100mWatt, 2x2, Mini-SMT

      We can rule out compatibility issues because the box is already currently working with a 2.3.2 (the same version I am trying to overwrite), but it has problems and I would like to try and reinstall it . However… hem ... originally was not installed by me!  :-\

      I am trying to install via DVD through an external USB/DVD reader.

      I enclose below the log of the installer (I know that the issue at the  beginning was identical and it has been solved).
      Just I have no idea how:

      _Select boot device:

      1. AHCI/0: SATA SSD ATA-10 Hard-Disk (15272 MiBytes)
      2. DVD/CD [USB MSC Drive TSSTcorp CDDVDW SE-218GN TS00]
      3. Payload [setup]
      4. Payload [memtest]

        Why not use the serial memstick installer? It would appear it's having problems reading the CD properly.

          I am puzzled. Because it is basically booting from that CD….and then has issues reading/mounting it? weird...

          In any case, you are suggesting the USB method, right?
          This one https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Writing_Disk_Images for clarity.

          Thanks!

            Yes, using the serial memstick installer image (not the CD iso)
