Install from USB hangs at "trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ufs/pfsense"
-
I get this when installing from USB using both methods of the stickied posts here.
If I disconnect the internal hard drive it loads just fine.
v2.0.2

What sort of hang? Does the keyboard CAPS LOCK LED change state if you tap the CAPS LOCK key?
What output do you get if you type CTRL-T on the console keyboard?How long did you wait?
-
I've waited over a half hour. Its instant when the internal hard drive is disconnected.
I think its trying to mount the image from the wrong drive.
-
have you pressed "3" when prompted ?
-
I've tried all those options. Hangs at the same place. All other options also hang at the IPsec (?) config load.

Decided to try from a DVD install. Now this is really messed up. It wont even get to the point of where it was hanging before. Gets to recgonize my keyboard then nothing. Tried switching the storage mode ACHI/IDE. Not working.
I'm going to try a 2.1 image. Perhaps my hardware is too new.

I've installed pfsense on systems from a pentiumII all the way up to core 2 duo's and have never had these problems.

Using a 2.1 install worked. Though I'm not thrilled about having to use a beta release.
What bugs me is that earlier in the thread it booted perfectly fine off the USB stick with the local hard drive disconnected.

Try changing the SATA transfer mode

Had the same issue yesterday, seems the filesystem on the usb was incorrect, Ive always used unetbootin for other projects but did not work for this. Re-imaged with win32discimager and worked perfectly.
