pfsense installer stuck at network setup command line shows up
-
So when i come to network configuration where i choose WAN interface first, i see a command line that shows up at the bottom, or like i am able to text outside the GUI, and then when i do something i see pfsense installer$ and i am able to type exit which restarts the installation process. I am using hyper v and followed the offical installation walktrough. I can't take a screenshot so i am not able to show you what i mean.

using installer v1.2 ?

@AyanHM are you here?

@SteveITS i clicked on the installation walktrough link and followed the rest of pfsense installation from there (the see also blue box). It is above the "First boot and interfaces assignment".
This is where i start to get stuck when i choose WAN interface:

@luckman212 i don't remember which version, the pfsense iso was the latest i downloaded, are you asking for the pfsense installer version?
-
Hmm, is that actually the Net Installer or just an older ISO image?
Can you not post a screenshot from hyper-v?
-
@AyanHM Just as a test, I fired up a fresh VM (Secure Boot disabled, 2GB RAM, 30GB disk) on my Hyper-V lab machine, booted from the Netgate Installer 1.2.0 ISO, and next, next, nexted my way through from start to finish. Ended up with a CE 2.8.1 ready to go. I kept everything at defaults.
Post some screenshots (use your phone camera if you can't take a direct screenshot) and some more details about your setup (what Netgate Installer version, what version of Windows/Hyper-V)

-
@luckman212 In Hyper v settings i have 2 interfaces, one for LAN and one for WAN.
Here are the settings for the VM. I have Windows Windows 11 Pro 25H2
i choose hn0 for WAN interface.

then when i press continue i get this where i am able to type outside the GUI.

and then after a few seconds i get this and i have to redo installation

i am not able to go back to the GUI.
-
What happens if you press return when it gets to the
>> Continuepage? -
@stephenw10 Nothing, the input i write (outside the GUI) gets removed and nothing happens, but it looks like it did go forward now, this is what i see now atleast.

-
i found the solution, i have to have patience
it just needs a few seconds and then it will continue.
