2.3.2-RELEASE to 2.3.3_1 upgrade fails.
-
Hi
I have a ALIX APU system currently running the NanoBSD version of 2.3.2-RELEASE, but I can't get it to upgrade (I am trying t upgrade it to 2.3.3_1). I have tried both the WebUI and console. Here's the output from the latest console output:

*** Welcome to pfSense 2.3.2-RELEASE (amd64 nanobsd) on internet ***Can anyone suggest what might be the problem? We actually have two devices, the other one has upgraded fine, this one, however seems to have a problem. The system is online, and DNS is working. I have tried pkg update from a shell, which says everything is up to date.

Try
pkg update -f

pkg update -f itself worked
pkg update -f

Upgrade is complete. Rebooting in 10 seconds. -
Well, I'd suggest to ditch the dead nanoBSD (not a viable option with 2.4 anyway.) After that, there's a whole slew of threads here about the upgrade code being super-buggy and pkg just braindead, and a bunch of bugs filed as well – but it's a whole lot worse with nanobsd and the duplicate slice stupidity wasting time over and over again.

I have the same error while trying tp upgrade the Version from 2.3.2-RELEASE to 2.3.3_1. I cant ditch the nanoBSD because the System is running on Hardware without vga-port or something like that. Comparable to this HW: https://www.netgate.com//products/sg-2440.html
What are the other Options instead of nanoBSD ? -
This is running on a similar bit of kit. I think there is a serial console, perhaps it may be possible to install using that.

Yeah, use the serial console with proper memstick image (not the VGA one).
