If a M.2 SATA drive is installed (e.g. Netgate 2100 MAX), it will be ada0.
8. Type y then press the Enter key if prompted to confirm the device choice.
9. Enter the filesystem to use for this installation, either UFS or ZFS, or press Enter for the default (ZFS).
Note: ZFS is more reliable and has more features than UFS (e.g. ZFS Boot Environments), however ZFS can
be memory hungry. Either filesystem will work, but if RAM usage is critical to other tasks that will run on this
firewall, UFS can be a more conservative choice. ZFS memory usage can be tuned, however, so that shouldn’t
be the only deciding factor.
10. Type y then press the Enter key if prompted to confirm the filesystem choice.
11. Wait for the recovery process to complete.
12. Once the install has completed, remove the memstick, and cycle the power (unplug the Netgate 2100 and plug
it back in) to reboot the Netgate 2100.
Tip: If the FAT parition on the memstick contains a configuration file to restore using the ECL method, leave
the memstick plugged in while cycling the power.
