      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?

          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.
