      Whenever I boot from pf sense it got stuck at mask..... line. Then nothing happens. Then I remove hard disk and boot from another Dell emc pc. Then it boots without any issue. After this I reattach to same first pc (it is industrial pc) it boots. No issue occurs. After shutting down and powering on next day same thing occurs. My pc is fine windows boots finely each time. I don't know what's wrong with only pf sense. It is latest version 2.7.0. Please help

        You are using the 'VGA' version, or the Serial version ?

        I don't see actually any errors.
        The screen is initialized, as it probably found a display adapter, then then .... continues outputting using the a serial port .... ?

        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
        Edit : and where are the logs ??

          It's an EFI console issue. Try booting legacy if you can.

                It depends on a number of things, the EFI implementation on that other system is different in some key way.
