      Hi all,

      I have a Mini PC running in a headless mode that's been working just fine for sometime now.  I have recently purchased an APC UPS and installed NUT with the pfSense being the Master and my NAS the Slave.

      During my testing of the UPS and what would happen during a power failure I have noticed that once UPS reaches a low battery state and shutsdown the pfSense Box it will not completely reboot following a power restore.  It boots to the pfSense Menu where you can boot into Single/Multi User modes etc and just stops there.  Once you select a boot option it will not stop at this boot menu again.  Until it is shutdown because the UPS has reached a low battery state.

      Why is it stopping at the boot menu?

      TIA

      Greg
