I have had a devil of a time getting the 2.1.5 memstick (only one I've tried)
to install on my new APU1D4.
I have all the bits and pieces needed to get it going but I'm trying to install
with both a 128GB SSD (which the BIOS is recognizing) and a 64GB Class 4 SDXC
(also recognized)...
I made the bootable USB on my Mac via the commands here:
https://cunninghamshane.com/make-a-bootable-usb-drive-from-img-in-mac-os-x/ but
I had to make a few changes (note for those looking to do this... I've never
seen a Mac whose drives are /dev/r-anything...)
But I seem to get nowhere... it starts to boot, sometimes I can get it to go
into the BSD loader if I tell it to do PXE boot but then it hangs. I thought it
might be a console redirection issue so I disconnected and reconnected at
9600bps and I get gibberish.
The SSD came out of a functioning Windows machine well over a year ago, I
suspect that might be the issue but I would love confirmation first. Also if
someone has a lead on a memory stick Linux I can run as a console redirect so I
can destroy that partition that would be helpful, too.
Hi Ryan,
Yea -- just installed one of these the other day and had the same issues -- the
baud rates can make it difficult . My notes from that install:
- download a serial memstick version:
http://pfsense.mirrors.ovh.net/pfsense.org/downloads/pfSense-memstick-serial-2.1.5-RELEASE-amd64.img.gz
- burn to usbstick
- boot apu with minicom 115200,8,n,1 [apu uses 115200 baud]
- F12 to select correct boot device -- boot from the device
- immediately switch back to 9600 on minicom -- pfsense uses 9600,8,n,1
- select custom install
- select mSATA as target
- format the disk
- partition the disk -- accept and create
- accept and install boot blocks
- install onto new partition
- accept defaults -- keep going
- select `embedded no vga kernel` at the end of process -- all good :-)
Hope this helps :-)
M
