[SOLVED] Update has bricked my SG-4860 - Help
-
Hi,
I purchased a SG-4860 about 1.5 years ago.
Worked perfectly.
never used any of the incidents etc..yesterday I did the built in update to update from 2.3.2 (if i recall) to 2.3.3_1 or 2.3.2_1..
upon it trying to reboot it would not come back up.
the only package installed was openvpn-export-client.
otherwise it was pretty stock.the console just shows :
Booting from Hard Disk... F1 pfSense F6 PXE Boot: F1 No /boot/loader FreeBSD/x86 boot Default: 0:ad(0,a)/boot/kernel/kernel boot: No /boot/kernel/kernel FreeBSD/x86 boot Default: 0:ad(0,a)/boot/kernel/kernel boot: No /boot/kernel/kernelNo /boot/kernel/kernel FreeBSD/x86 boot Default: 0:ad(0,a)/boot/kernel/kernel boot:
why would an update screw up my pretty stock pfsense router - and in any case, where do I download the firmware?
Thanks

Hi,
Can you please email support@netgate.com with the serial and/or order number and any additional information? From there we can work on identifying the root cause of the problem.
Thank you,

Hi and thanks James.
I reinstalled the firmware using the downloaded link you supplied.
All good.
I did lose all my configs and certificates I had created in the last 2 months (recovery of them didn't work), but i had a backup from December which got me partly back on track.
Kind regards and thankfully it's not become faulty with the update.
