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 :-)

Well, I have it installed now but it is not going into the final boot... I
suspect I bombed the installation (there was an option at the end to either
have multi-threading OR have console... I chose multi-threading because I want
it)
yea -- if you do that, then you wont see anything on the console and you get
through the setup. you could always use the embedded kernel, go thru initial
console setup, then change kernels ...
https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Switching_Kernels
which begs the question `is there a difference in threading capabilities
between the embedded and regular smp kernel`?
i used the embedded and it does show multiple cores ...
cheers
