Is there a security setting enabled in the BIOS that might prevent installing the bootloader on the HDD? _ Van: Nick Upson [mailto:n...@telensa.com] Verzonden: maandag 1 augustus 2011 14:03 Aan: support pfsense Onderwerp: [pfSense Support] install headaches Hi, I'm trying to install 1.2.3 or 2.0rc3 (tried both) from dvd onto a HD, in both cases it all appears to install fine but when I attempt to boot from the HD it fails without touching the keyboard the 2.0 says: (1.2.3 is similiar) error 1 lba 378986767 No /boot/loader and then goes back to the boot: prompt -- Nick Upson (01799 533252)

RE: [pfSense Support] install headaches
Wait, you see a / symbol? Which version of pfSense did you install? If it's the embedded version, then the / is correct, the only way to access the console is by using a null-modem cable and hyperterminal (if you use Windows) on another computer. Then you use the other computer to see the output that's usually on the screen and you can access the menu pfSense shows when booted up. _ Van: Nick Upson [mailto:n...@telensa.com] Verzonden: maandag 1 augustus 2011 14:19 Aan: support@pfsense.com Onderwerp: Re: [pfSense Support] install headaches On 1 August 2011 13:06, Bart Grefte b...@ravenslair.nl wrote: Is there a security setting enabled in the BIOS that might prevent installing the bootloader on the HDD? good idea but no in addition I can get to point where it would boot and it just sits there with a / sysbol in the fist char position on the bottom line.

Okay. Which type of install did you do, quick/easy or custom? If the 1st, try the 2nd and see how far it gets then. _ Van: Nick Upson [mailto:n...@telensa.com] Verzonden: maandag 1 augustus 2011 14:32 Aan: support@pfsense.com Onderwerp: Re: [pfSense Support] install headaches On 1 August 2011 13:28, Bart Grefte b...@ravenslair.nl wrote: Wait, you see a / symbol?

Normally that is called virus protwction in the bios. And yes that would prevent the boot loader from being installed. Seth typed on a tiny touchscreen, why exactly?
