I've lost count of how many permutations that is. This obviously does not apply if the two partitions share a HDD. So, I have tried these Active Partition Manager steps on the vga and serial (DVD is just written, and returns a message that the image is not bootable) with the 4 different image write tools on three different legacy systems. If the partition which is to take over control of the boot is on a different HDD from the current boot partition, you will also need to change your BIOS to put the new drive before the old one in the boot sequence, otherwise the old (untouched) boot files will continue to be in control. and I get consistently one of two results:ġ) some kind of kernel panic and I get dumped to a db> prompt -OR-Ģ) I get thru the initial menu and the system starts loading the live disk and then gives me a black screen before I ever get the login prompt. I've tried this with the vga, dvd and serial amd64 images, and used Rufus, win32diskwrite, physdiakwrite and etcher. I saw the Reddit and Github posts about writing the image to usb and then using Active partition manager to change the boot type to MBR and set the EFIsys partition active. I am at my wits end with trying to install Opnsense 20.7 on any of the three legacy biosbased PC systems I have.
