      Hello
      I want to run pfSense-CE-2.4.5-RELEASE-p1-amd64.iso on virtualbox 6.0.22. (VM: 4GB RAM, 16MB Video Memory, PAE/NX enabled )
      The VM starts up but freezes on boot (see image below)

      http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Boot_Troubleshooting did not solve the problem; at least I did not find the correct switch.

      Any idea, what could go wrong?

      Thanks for any hint

      Regards, Marc
