Install Stuck At 'Trying to mount root from ufs"
-
I am trying to install pfSense on a Dell R710 with a USB drive that I used Rufus to create a bootable drive with - has the latest 2.4.2 memstick image on it. After selecting the USB in BIOS, I am getting the initial pfSense boot screen loading, but then a bunch of data scrolls up the screen and it sits at "Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ufs/FreeBSD_Install [ro,noatime]…" followed by "random: unblocking device."
I tried the set.kern.cam_delay="10000" then boot as I've seen suggested in other places, but it still just boots through to the above message and hangs. Any ideas anyone?

That is where it can switch from VGA to serial console. What image did you write to the memstick?

Wrong image. Select VGA console in the downloader or connect terminal software to the correct serial port if that's what you really want.
You probably want this one:
pfSense-CE-memstick-2.4.2-RELEASE-amd64.img.gz

Ahhhh. I totally overlooked that. Thanks for pointing that out. I will re-download and try again. Thanks!
