Boot loop on older hardware when installing latest Version.
0%
Description
When I install pfSense on my Dell Optiplex 320 (Pentium 4), the installation runs fine till the reboot question at the end.
The Machine reboots at the end and comes up with the usual "F1 pfSense F6 PXE boot" question.
After this the Machine reboots directly ending in a quick boot loop no matter what I do.
This happens on 2.2.3 and 2.2.0
2.0-Release however is fine.

After Pointing the Updater to https://updates.pfsense.org/_updaters the Machine updated to 2.2.3 straight away with no issue.
Also no boot loop after being on 2.2.3.

Just tested the 64Bit LiveCD Installer Version and this works fine (2.2.3)

Thanks for the follow up. Should only run 64 bit on 64 bit hardware. Whatever issue there is something in FreeBSD rather than our code, and probably not a priority there either given 64 bit works and that's what you should be running.
