      @stephenw10 Thank you again. I used the legacy installer for 2.7.2 from Dec.8. Everything was going quite well until 2FS Configuration options. I select Stripe-No redundancy then the next screen says only [ ] ada0 Protecli 120GB mSATA. When I click OK the next screen says stripe: Not enough disks selected. (0 < 1 minimum) . I then get the options to Change Selection or Cancel. I can go no further. I'm wondering if the previous unsuccessful installation is interfering with this new one? Please advise me if you can. Thank you.

        @Bob-Orter Press “space” so that you actually select the drive.

          ada0 Protecli 120GB mSATA

            Perhaps more relevant info. In trying again an earlier 2FS Configuration screen gives the options:

            Install Proceed with Installation
            T Pool Type/Disks: mirror: 0 disks

            • Rescan Devices *
            • Disk Info *
              N Pool Name pfSense New
              And others....
              I renamed to pfSense New because it indicated that pfSense was already being used. Could this be part of the problem? Or that mirror: 0 disks?

              . Installation seems to be progressing well. I will keep you posted.

                It appears that the installation has completely successfully! However, upon restarting I am not getting to a pfSense interface. I get a screen with:
                Distributions:
                Linux Network Installs (64-bit)
                Live CDs
                ...
                Tools:
                Utilities (UEFI)
                iPXE shell
                ...
                What mistake have I made?

                  Hmm, that looks like something from Coreboot which implies it's not seeing a bootable device entry.

                  Can you add an EFI entry with that untility?

                  Did you choose to install it as UEFI? As I understand it that device will not boot a legacy install.

                    @Bob-Orter You have to manually change the boot order on the coreboot menu so that it boots from the SSD rather than the network tools it defaults to.

                      I have gotten further than before by trying one of the other boot options, though I can't remember which one. It asked me to plug in the WAN and LAN to separately verify the link is up. Neither link was but I am looking at a black screen with white letters. At the bottom it says:
                      Bootup complete

                      FreeBSD/amd64 (Amnesiac)(ttyv0)

                      login:
                      Seems as though I've still got some trouble. Could you please let me know?

                        @stephenw10 Sorry, I missed that reply. Not sure about UEFI. I tried to use the default options along the way. I will see if I can get back to the boot sequence screen to change the order.

                          Thank you. It appears that I have successfully changed the boot sequence.

                            Thank you very much for your patience and your expertise! I apologize for my clumsiness but with your assistance it now appears that pfSense is successfully installed! It is up and running and I am looking at 16 options for configuring the system. I will take it from here by continuing to follow the installation and setup guide. Thank you again!

                              I would like to thank you both for your assistance. My pfSense router is now up and running.
