High guys,

 

with the help/instructions of Space Invader I tried to install pfSense (later tried OPNsense) but somehow it is not running through the install. I was wondering if somebody has time to help me out. I tried several different configurations which I post below this message. I tried the v2.6 because I read somewhere on the forum that this helped for this particular user. For me unfortunately no such luck. With different versions I reach different progress in the boot for which I will post screen shots and logs (that's the 4 separate .zip files down bellow.

 

I tried 4 different versions (probably more but posted here only 4):

 

Q35-4.2 OVMF

Q35-2.6 OVMF

Q35-4.2 SeaBIOS

Q35-2.6 SeaBIOS

 

Here is the xml I used for the "FreeBSD q35-2.6" on difference with the other VM's is the machine setting and/or BIOS setting. Note: with all VM's I removed the interface bridge part as you can see in the video from Space Invader. I just thought to leave in there for now.

 

Thanks in advance, gr Piet

I tried 2 more VM's with different settings:

 

When creating them I selected emulated CPU mode. Apart from that I tried one 1 VM with Primary vDisk Bus with SATA and one with SCSI. With the first VM I was able to get into the setup menu but when selecting guided install the following message appears "The installer could not find any disks suitable for installation (IDE or SCSI)" That is why I tried the second one with SCSI but then the same message pops up.

He, Pete,

 

thanks for the help. Unfortunately I could not get it to work yet even with the help of your XML. I am in the process of trying more different configuration but one thing that I noticed is that some settings have to be set during creating the VM. For example changing vDisk Bus settings will give me different results with same settings during creation of the VM against changing them later (i.e. from IDE to SCSI). Maybe this is normal.

 

With legacy boot you mean going into the BIOS and changing to legacy as opposed to UEFI?

During booting I get the option to go to:

I got the option to change the Kernel to "Kernel.old" but when I select that option during boot I get "Kernel not found". Assuming you meant this in the first place.

I missed that in your previous post sorry about that. I just tried a VM with virtio and the only difference as I can see so far is that in the boot menu I am able to toggle ACPI support on/off

 

Trying the old kernel still produces "kernel not found". Booting with ACPI off instead of on also does not work.

Thanks for the considerable effort Pete and it paid off. In the end I changed the settings a little bit compared what you did in the video but it did put me on the correct path. This was the first time I saw the "legacy boot" which you was talking about. But in the end I was able to install it with the default settings. Many many thanks.

 

CPU mode: emulated

Machine: i440-4.2

BIOS: SeaBIOS

USB controller 3.0 (qemu)

OS Install CDRom Bus: SATA

Primary vDisk Size 20G

Primary vDisk Type: qcow2

Primary vDisk Bus: VirtIO

 

Still a couple of things bother me:

 

when editing the XML file the CPU mode defaults back to pass-through while I set it to emulated before. It seems it only looks like it has changed though because after I edit the XML (need to remove the br0 interface according to SpaceInvader) it is still set to emulated. This only counts before first start-up though. If I try to change something (i.e. the name of the VM) then try to start the VM again I will get an error. Does this make sense?

 

The Primary vDisk Size: and Primary vDisk Type: option (fill in size and select type) appears and disappears depending on the name change. I can not see/edit this when the name is just OPNsense. I CAN change it when the name is OPNsens or some other combinations. Does this makes sense? Not to me but I am a noob so...

 

Hope these last to remarks make sense to somebody. I need be I can do some testing but then somebody with some skills should take a look at the logs because I am not able to read that kind of things. I'll post my XML which is working now down bellow.

If you change via cml and then switch back to changing via gui method or visa versa then unraid overwrites settings for some reason. You should pick only one method and stay with that. You cant seem to switch between them from what I have found.

I've been trying to create a simple FreeBSD VM for a few days but no combination I tried would allow the installer iso to boot. I tried the suggestions in other threads and elsewhere on the Internet, including using SeaBIOS instead of the default OVMF in the FreeBSD template and disabling ACPI support in the boot loader, but it always froze at the "Booting ..." message. What fixed things for me was changing to

The ISO is only meant for installation to a (v)disk and basic setup, like network interfaces....IMHO there is no mouse (and no need for one).

Use the keyboard to punch in the required commands to install to disk an create the WAN and LAN interface. 

Once installation is finished, the WebUI and not VNC interface to the VM is used...again, no local mouse needed.
