      Hello all.
      Trying to install pfSense on ESXI 6.5 and having issues. I have followed the guides found on the internet. Downloaded the 64bit cd .iso which is uploaded to the datastore and directed to the CD drive option.

      When I boot the virtual machine up, I can see it seems to be searching for a network, does a dhcp search and show software not available.

      Watching the guides, on boot up I should get the option to install pfSense but I don’t. Any ideas why?

      TIA

        vm is:

        VM Options:

        Choose which firmware should be used to boot the virtual machine:
        BIOS

        ?

              it's still .gz

                    Do I just remove the .gz from the end to make it a .iso

                      No.. you use a decompression program to pull it out of compressed form.
