This is a really strange behaviour, I wonder if anyone has seen anything similar.

I've just been trying to replicate a production config in a VirtualBox VM (vbox 4.3.6, OSX 10.9.1).

I can install pfsense fine, and manually set up a LAN IP address on vboxnet0 so that I can get into the web and use Diagnostics > Backup/Restore to upload an existing XML config. But then the VM refuses to boot properly. It only gets as far as:

F1  pfSense

F6 PXE
Boot:  F1
|

and then hangs at that point (vertical bar, not spinning). This is repeatable if I reinstall and re-restore the same XML config.

I was able to workaround the problem by reinstalling, using scp to copy /cf/conf/config.xml directly from another machine, and then reboot. So it's not a show stopper, but it's most bizarre - how can a *config* upload prevent the kernel from booting??

Any thoughts welcome :-)

Regards,

Brian.
