The FreeBSD home page is at This article will describe installation of a recent version. FreeBSD 11.2 IssuesWith the release of FreeBSD 11.2, one of the kernel defaults was changed such that some of the Vaults do not automatically boot up correctly during installation via USB and also after subsequent bootups from mSATA. This issue is described exactly in the FreeBSD forum at this link:The symptom of the affected Vaults is that during boot, the console will freeze at a “Booting” message and never get any further.
The system is actually booting, but there is no console I/O.A bug has been filed regarding this issue at this link: and it includes a workaround, specifically Comment 10 in the bug.The FreeBSD bug affects the FW1, FW2, and FW4A platforms, but not the FW2B, FW4B, and FW6 platforms.When this article was originally written, the workaround instructions were described below in “FreeBSD 11.2 Console Instructions”. However, a simpler solution has been found and tested. Following the instructions linked in “Verify the BIOS mode” will solve the issue and it is not required to follow “FreeBSD 11.2 Console Instructions” at the bottom of the page.

It is important to make sure the correct image file for USB memory stick is selected as shown in the image below.Version: 11.2Architecture: AMD64 (64-bit)Install type: “memstick.img” FreeBSD Main Install Page FreeBSD Memory Stick Image File Burn the installation image to a USB driveThe easiest way to transfer the installation image to a USB drive is by using software called “Rufus” on Windows or “Etcher” on Mac OSX. See this for detailed instructions on how to create a bootable USB drive using Rufus or Etcher.Note: If installing using a VGA monitor and USB keyboard on a Vault FW1x, FW2x, or FW4x, be sure to use a USB stick and a USB keyboard with a plug that is relatively skinny. The 2 USB ports on the Vault are very close to each other and if either the USB stick or the USB keyboard plug is too wide, you will not be able to plug both in at the same time, which will prevent you from doing the installation.
