      Hi all,

      As I suspected, my in-place installation of 2.2.4 failed. I am trying to do an upgrade on a WATCHGUARD FIREBOX X1250e

      SPECS:
      2.2.3-RELEASE (i386)
      built on Tue Jun 23 16:37:33 CDT 2015
      FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE-p13
      Update available. Click Here to view update.
      nanobsd (4g)
      NanoBSD Boot Slice pfsense0 / ada0s1 (rw)
      Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 2.13GHz
      2GB MEMORY
      4GB CF CARD

      I have added hint.ata.0.mode=PIO4 to /boot/loader.conf.local (hell, I added it to /boot/loader.conf as well)
      When I rebooted it failed saying it timed out reading the card: I rebooted and did a "set hint.ata.0.mode=PIO4" and "boot" re-added the loader.conf/loader.conf.local but it still fails!

      This has happened every single time I've done an upgrade, I DREAD to see that update available message now.

      Trouble is, it gives me two options when booting 1 and 2 ….. 2 being 2.2.4 .... when I choose 2 it brings up a boot menu (space to pause etc) but it doesnt accept any of my keystrokes to interrupt the boot sequence.
      I'm posting this now from my fallback 2.2.3 which I rebooted to by pressing 1 at boot time.

      Can anyone shed any light on why 2.2.4 won't honour my settings?

      Thanks kindly.
