      Hello guys,
            I have tried install Pfsense with this img: pfSense-CE-memstick-2.3.4-RELEASE-amd64.img, but I can't install, the log is the following:

      
      Media sector size is 512
      Warning: Bios sector numbering starts with sector 1
      Information from DOS bootblock is: 
      The data for patition 1 is:
      sysid 165 (0xa5), (FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
      start 63, size250069617 (122104 Meg), flag 80 (active)
      beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1;
      end: cyl 276/ head 15/ sector 63
      The data for partition 2 is:
      UNUSED
      the data for partition 3 is: 
      UNUSED
      the data for partition 4 is:
      UNUSED
      exit status: 0
      Executing /sbin/bsdlabel -B -r -w ada0s1 auto
      bsdlabel unable to get correct path for ada0s1: No such file or directory
      exit status: 1
      
      

      note: I added the pictures with the full log error, names: error-log1 and error-log2

      Here is the disk target for the installation, before tried install Pfsense

      
      fdisk -l
      Disk /dev/sda: 119.2 GiB, 12803567160 bytes, 250069680 sectors
      Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
      Sector seize (logical/physical): 512bytes / 512 bytes
      I/O size (minimun/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
      
      

      Here is the same disk after tried install Pfsense:

      
      Disk /dev/sda: 119.2 GiB 128035676160 bytes, 25006980 sectors
      Units: sectors of 1 * 512 bytes
      Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
      I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes /512 bytes
      Disklabel type: dos
      Disk identifier: 0x90909090
      
      Device       Boot    Start               End      Sectors         Size          ID      Type
      /dev/sda1   *         63       250069679    250069617     119.2G      a5     FreeBSD  
      
      

      I took 2 pictures from Bios, the Main and the Disk's section, names: Bios-disks and bios-info.

      If you need any else, please let me know.

      Thanks!!
      JA

        At a loss to what your trying to do?  The memstick images are meant to be written to a usb stick.. And then booted from that stick..

          I did.

          I used an usb to install Pfsense and the error is from that installation using pfSense-CE-memstick-2.3.4-RELEASE-amd64.img.
