      @daboone72 Keep in mind the FreeBSD version can change between pfSense versions also. Perhaps try searching for your hardware and boot hangs with FreeBSD 11.2 or 11.3?

      Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
      When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

        @teamits I did that already for two days. That's why I posted first email. Googling for boot hangs was getting me nowhere. I'll figure out howto put debugging statements in and figure out why it stops. Now I know it's the menu.4th menu.rc script that does all the menu including the timeout. It's just a bunch of loader script commands. https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?loader(8)
