Can you tell us on which environment you are trying to install: virtual or physical appliance?

Can you list the hardware specification (wether virtual of physical)?

Can you describe the steps you have done in order to try to install?

You must follow the guideline as explained in this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3bvbzUYgMU&t=1s

Your hardware must support FreeBSD 13.

Are you sure that you are using the right image?

Like VGA image for output on the VGA port or Serial image for serial output?

Also if you are using Serial image are you tuned using the right speed (115200 bds)?

DynFi Firewall is based on FreeBSD v.13. and the Proliant clearly does not support FreeBSD officialy.
Some people are known to have made it work using some tricks, but FreeBSD is NOT listed on the official supported platform on either side (FreeBSD or HPE).

What I would advise you is to install Proxmox-VE (Free Linux based hypervisor) and then install DynFi Manager on top of this.
If you plan to run DynFi Firewall in production, I would advise you to use a hardware that's supported.

You said that you've been able to run pfSense, but were you able to run pfSense v.2.7 (it is still in ß, but it runs on FreeBSD 14) - so this might give you a pretty good idea if your hardware is compatible with upcoming versions of FreeBSD).
