So I did the install again and did the defaults and it is booting...
Someday I'll putz around with the custom installation.

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)
