      @stephenw10 had to order & wait on arrival of an USB flash drive to try this. It just arrived & I tried the memstick image instead of a physical DVD, which did work. I also noticed the memstick version is larger in size when compared to the DVD ISO. Maybe the DVD ISO is corrupted for everyone...

        I've used that ISO image numerous times to install to various VMs. I don't think I've tried actually writing it to a DVD but I see no reaspn that wouldn't work.

          I've been installing pfSense via physical DVDs since version 2.5.0, so for 3 years now. This is the first time in 3 years that I've had an issue like this. Makes me wonder if anyone else is able to install 2.7.2 from physical DVD.

              @stephenw10 were you able to test the DVD ISO?

                  @stephenw10 does that mean the pfSense CE 2.7.3 will be released soon?

                    No, not unless there's some secret team of developers I'm unaware of. 😉

                    The next CE version would be 2.8.

                      Is this Issue I was experiencing in the OP the same as this issue?

                        No I don't think so. You were getting past the boot loader which is where that issue was.
