    I bought a new SG1100 early on in the pandemic but only took it out of the box for the first time last night.
    Added a new user, made the user an admin, and disabled the default admin account - no problems here.
    Changed the default LAN to 192.168.17.1 - no problems here.
    Updated from a very old build up to 22.01 - took a long time - I let it run all night.
    Rebooted this morning and tried to update to 23.01 (or whatever it was offering) - no go here

    ERROR: The EFI partition on this device is too small to receive the updated arm64 EFI loader. Contact TAC at https://www.netgate.com/tac-support-request for assistance upgrading this device. @ 2023-12-09 11:28:23

    Is there a simple way to get the SG1100 up and running properly aside from buying a support contract?

      @dartmouth-eric the firmware is available without any cost.

      https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/solutions/sg-1100/reinstall-pfsense.html

      Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
      When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.
