      Hello!

      Trying to install pfSense on an OVH VPS. This involves booting into OVH's rescue image and then installing via QEMU. The install completes fine and sees the disk fine, but upon booting I get this:

      (please ignore the mistyped password)

      This is an EFI install, and it seems to get to the start of the ZFS/BSD loader just fine but then it seems it can't find some disk? Any ideas?

      Thanks!

        OK, the solution was to install in a local Virtualbox on my computer with a similarly sized HDD. I then shut down the Virtualbox VM before it rebooted into pfSense after install and cloned the disk to the OVH VPS. Works like a charm! Also much faster.
