XG Firewall SW-SFOS_15.01.0-376 install failure

marcusbennett

Dear All,

 

Please be gentle with me.  My first post and first introduction to Sophos and the XG Firewall

 

I'm trying to install XG  SW-SFOS_15.01.0-376.iso  onto a Mini ITX Intel 64 bit system that was sold to me a while back,  the seller, a good friend, and very capable guy had used it for Sophos UTM without issue.

 

I took the machine, inserted a 64GB SSD and today tried the installation of  the XG product

 

All seems to be good.  I read on screen messages like:

Installing Loader for appliance SF01V_S001  [OK]

Installing firmware for appliance SF01V-S001 [OK]

Firmware Installed

Remove Installer disk

press y to reboot

 

SO I took out the CDROM and rebooted.

I get a PC BIOS error message   "No bootable partition"

 

I take out the disk into another system and sure enough

 

NO PARTITIONS ON THE SSD, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!

No wonder it did not start.

 

So the obvious dumbo question I am asking, is what the hell am I doing wrong?

Any other clear options to try?

 

Anybody?

 

Regards Marcus Bennett.

    I had the "no bootable device" error, booted a linux live CD and could not see any partitions.
    I was using Easy2Boot so decided to try "boot first HDD" - and it worked (as in booted Sophos )

    i've since given up because it didn't recognise my usb-ethernet adapter and would not activate, so i didn't find a permanent fix.

    to complete setup you need two real cards physically plugged into the mb. one for the initial login and the other to activate the xg. Then you can configure it to use one interface. I don't think XG supports usb devices.
