Unable to install pfsense

[ryhma01]

I am unable to install pfsense on Virutalbox, it keeps taking me to the shell command.

@ryhma01 more infos needed: what pfSense version are you trying to install, are the NICs bridged or NAT-ed, what did you set for the virtual OS/RAM/Disk, what is the host OS of Virtualbox, Virtualbox version.
What does 'keeps taking me to the shell command' mean? After installation, during or even before installing. What are you using to install it, the latest ISO from the Netgate store?

@ryhma01 said in Unable to install pfsense:

install pfsense on Virutalbox

After a small correction, you wind up with "Install pfSense on VirtualBox".
Throw exact that text in Google.

Please find attached screenshot, I am unable to install pfsense or any other OS.

@ryhma01 are you using VirtualBox on an ARM based Mac? And installing from ARM installation images, I assume.

I haven't used VirtualBox on my M2 Macbook, I assumed you can't run x86 images. And the ARM pfSense are for Netgate appliances only (again: I assume).

Indeed there is no aarch64 ISO installer.

You are ending up at the UEFI shell because it's failing to boot anything else.

Do you see it trying and failing to boot the ISO image? You might have to choose to boot it.
