      Hi all!
      I have working 2.3 install.
      Decided to try out 2.4. When I boot from usb it is very slow. It takes like 5 minutes to get to pfsense menu…
      Any idea?
      Thanks.

          Your not trying a 32bit machine are you?  (if that is even possible..)

              Hi!
              Anyone seen this before?
              Btw I've updated to 2.4 via gui and all is good.
              But I can't install it from usb stick…
              Really like zfs but can't use it because of this...

                At that point it is all between your hardware/BIOS and the USB stick reading the kernel.

                If it's a USB 3 stick and/or port, try a USB 2 stick/port. Or vice versa.

                    Yeah, I've seen that. The old installer had a bunch of hidden options to install the loader in a couple different ways, after some random messing one of the options fixed it. Then again, this was back in ~2.1 days.  But yes, this is due to a shitty BIOS.

                      Well I said f**k it and waited… Then I started to wait.... A bit longer... Smoked and waited.... Swept the damn place and cleared some dust... Drank a coffee...

                      Installer popped up :)
                      But I forgot to backup my config.

                      So I waited some more and some more dust was swept and more coffee drank :D

                      Now I`m on ZFS and my shitty BIOS is more than happy to boot it :)
