      Hi,

      My netgate SG-3100 has an issue with the 3 lights blinking continuously. It arrived after I believe (multiple) unproper shutdown (didn't know it could create issues :s ).

      Until now I managed to log in the console where I see that it's blocked in an infinite reboot:

      The version of pfsense is 21.02. I saw some issues existed on that version so I downloaded the last version and created a USB boot drive. And now I need some help :D

      I tried to boot from the USB drive but didn't find how to do it (tried usbboot in the Marvell boot part but not sure how to use it).

      Thanks for your help (and maybe wrong way to go, don't hesitate to share :) )

      Cheers,
      Christophe

        That install has a file system issue but unless there is something on it you need I would just install 21.05.2 clean. Instructions for doing so are here:
        https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/solutions/sg-3100/reinstall-pfsense.html

        You need the specific 3100 image though so if you don't have that open a ticket to request it:
