pfSense-Installer geht nicht

Exactly. I tested using UTF8 and the menu is still drawn (mostly) and works correctly.

Good Morning.
I have now tried the different settings for the translation settings according to your suggestions. Unfortunately, the result is still the same as described above. HELP

Can you try a different terminal emulator? A different OS?

Are you entering ctl-c to escape the menu when you see this?:

Script /etc/rc.d/local interrupted
Updating motd:.
Mounting late filesystems:.

The only way I've managed to drop to the kind of prompt shown is by breaking out of the installer, either by cancelling or ^C. I have yet to see it happen automatically in any way.

Makes me wonder if PuTTY has some kind of login scripting or expect/send stuff happening that is sending input automatically.

@jimp
i find it very strange too. I'm going through all of your suggestions now. I also took up the suggestion of a "new serial cable" and have now ordered a different cable. Maybe it's really because of it - although I would be very surprised. I can't find any deviation from your settings on Putty itself. But I think the hardware of the box is compatible, right?

Yeah, there is nothing special about the console port on the APU3. It should work.

Are you entering something to escape the menu? When it shows Script /etc/rc.d/local interrupted ?

Good Morning.
It's done. And the crucial hint came from you around. A big thank you to you. What was the reason: It was the USB serial adapter. I got myself a new adapter and - believe it or not - it now shows everything it should. I completed the installation and it works. Great thing. Thanks to the forum
