Installing/Booting on SYS-E200-12A-8C
-
Aha, then I would expect current 24.03-dev snapshots to work. That would be a tricky install though!
-
@stephenw10 No luck on the nvme ssd install:
If there is someone interested by the boot sequence until crash:

@stephenw10 If I cannot boot 2.7.2 to enter + key and get on 23.09.01, I will not be able to go to 24.03... :(
-
Yup you would need to do it on something else and move the drive. The NDI would change and need to be migrated but I'd expect it to boot OK.
-
@stephenw10 That's not a pleasant process i guess as i only have 1 pfSense+ key and I would hate to loose it on an experiment.
-
If that's the only way to install it we can migrate the registered NDI to the new device once you prove it works.
-
@stephenw10 Will try to do that and I will reach to you regarding the license. Thanks for your support Stephen.
-
@stephenw10 I did not managed to do that, due to the fact that I do not have enough Plus keys available. The 2 nodes that I am trying to install on, have plus licenses available. The question here is how can I get the new beta installer which will allow me to install directly the Plus variant?
-
Yes the Net Installer should allow this now. It's a zero dollar purchase from the store.

@stephenw10 Installation worked without issues.
Now it will not recognize the QAT on C5325 in GUI.
I can do kldload qat and kldstat -v |grep qat:

Ah, that's probably just the gui device list lagging the driver.

You could try adding the ID(s) there as a test.
