      Problem is driving me up the wall; at this point it seems to be mostly hardware related.

      I've tried USB DVD-ROM, USB Memory Stick, and even Intel AMT IDE-Redirection Virtual CD (slow).

      At some point during boot of the install media (the CD Rom got further than the memory stick, one time anyway), I get SCSI errors.

      I tried set kern.cam.boot_delay="10000" and I don't think it helped much.

      What's weird about this computer, it also gave me a hard time when installing Windows 10 to run some diagnostics. It wouldn't boot unless I used a non-UEFI USB Stick. Probably unrelated.

      I don't have this issue on other hardware (my main desktop has no issue launching pfsense installer).

      Even more strange, I was successful 1 time at installing pfsense, a few days ago, and suddenly I can't anymore.

        I can confirmed this also happens with FreeNAS USB installers.
