Description

The installer ISO is not functioning on the latest 2.5.0 snapshots. More information in the forum thread at https://forum.netgate.com/topic/160469/2-5-0-nightly-iso-install-broken

Reports indicate that attempting to accept the license restarts the installer and the user can't progress past the license screen.

Also the name of the ISO file has changed from being named pfSense-CE-<blah>.iso to pfSense-CE-iso-<blah>.img, but upon renaming the .img file to .iso it can still be used as an ISO.

Assigning to Luiz since he is looking into the name change part first.

Adding another data point, the latest snapshot installs as expected.
