      Hi! I'm trying to install pfSense from a flash drive onto an HP DL360 G6. I am using Rufus to flash the image "pfSense-CE-memstick-2.4.4-RELEASE-p3-amd64.img" onto the server. When I boot the flash drive to the server, I get to the screen:

      BTX loader 1.00 BTX version is 1.02
      Consoles: internal video/keyboard
      BIOS drive A: is disk0
      BIOS drive C: is disk1
      BIOS drive D: is disk2
      BIOS 637kB/3658876kB available memory

      FreeBSD/x86 bootstrap loader, Revision 1.1
      (Wed Nov 21 08:03:01 EST 2018 root@buildbot2.nyi.netgate.com)

      I can't get past this screen, and whenever I press a key on the keyboard, the server beeps.
      Any help is appreciated, thanks!

        @onlyfor1question Most folks here on the forum recommends using balenaEtcher to flash.

            Sounds as if you're having hardware issue...try pfSense 2.4.5rc to see whether you have the same exact issue.
