Watchguard 800 Install Problem

[TraderX]

Hi Guys

Ive tried installing pf2.60 number of times on 2 WG800's and both experience the same problem, that is when all the install selections are made the screen is flooded with 10-15 columns of double digit no's which never stop painting

I'm using 115200,8,1,N and tried 2 usb console cables which have worked on other xtm5 boxes and does work on one now perfectly.

I also have fresh install of putty and tried on 2 machines to no avail
so deducting its something unique to the 800 series I need to set or do differently and looking for some guidance on resolving this?

Also I see LCDproc would be great too
Is there a specific bios for 800 and is that the only way to turn the fans down ;-S

Edit: didn't think this would work but tried installing successful install on 5 series to 8 series and failed around when "bootstrapping clock" started with column of no's

much appreciated

Could this problem be related to the zeon processor type and the build of pfsense?

Can be worked around with this: https://forum.netgate.com/post/983284

So at the first boot interupt the boot at the loader menu to reach the loader prompt OK>

Then enter:

set debug.acpi.disabled="apei"
boot

Then once it's booted create the file /boot/loader.conf.local and add the line:

debug.acpi.disabled="apei"
