      Hi,

      I have been trying to do a clean install with the new 2.4 Release factory firmware from the support portal on my SG2440 (About 2 months old).

      I have created the install using this command

      sudo dd if=pfSense-netgate-memstick-2.4.0-RELEASE-amd64.img of=/dev/rdisk3 bs=4m

      I have tried on multiple USB drives and every time I try to boot from the USB drive the installer freezes during boot (Screenshot attached).

      I was hoping someone would have some idea what the issue is or how to look deeper into the issue (logging?).

      Thankyou

        That's the wrong memstick, you want the one with "ADI" in the name. The one you have is directing console output to VGA, but that device has no VGA console.
