      @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?

      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 reboot, or more depending on packages, and device or disk 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)
