Description

Ref https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/troubleshooting/boot-issues.html#efi-boot-issues

Some hardware may have firmware bugs potentially resulting in EFI boot issues and panics:

Work around for this is to 1) increase the size of the staging area by adding slop, and 2) fall back to legacy PCI config access. At the loader prompt:

staging_slop 268435456
boot

In /boot/loader.conf.local add:

exec="staging_slop 268435456" 
hw.pci.mcfg=0
