August 31, 20223 yr I followed this tutorial on youtube (except with the updated Unraid 6.9 IOMMU separation): But when I boot up the VM, it won't get to the installation part. This is an excerpt of the Unraid VM log: -sandbox on,obsolete=deny,elevateprivileges=deny,spawn=deny,resourcecontrol=deny \ -msg timestamp=on char device redirected to /dev/pts/1 (label charserial0) qxl_send_events: spice-server bug: guest stopped, ignoring 2022-08-31T01:56:15.267578Z qemu-system-x86_64: vfio-pci: Cannot read device rom at 0000:03:00.0 Device option ROM contents are probably invalid (check dmesg).

Skip option ROM probe with rombar=0, or load from file with romfile= and here is a screenshot of what the VM is displaying: [EDIT] I have narrowed the problem down, but still don't have a solution. The problem seems to be the "Primary vDisk Bus" setting, which is set to SATA, as demonstrated in the tutorial. If I change it to the default "VirtIO", the PfSense setup wizard shows up, but as I proceed through the installer, it cannot detect any disks. Does anyone know what the issue is? Is there any additional information I should provide? Edited August 31, 20223 yr by Stubbs

September 2, 20223 yr Author Problem solved. Yet another case of dumb user error. Close this awful thread.
September 2, 20223 yr If you don't mind please share what the issue was, it might help someone else in the future.

It had been a while since I last made a VM in Unraid, and when assigning a vdisk size, I forgot you're supposed to postfix it with the letter "G" to assign it in gigabytes.
