I originally installed FreeNAS on my hard drive by mistake. Everything worked fine except, of course, I could not create storage pools as the device was being used as the boot device.
So, I installed FreeNAS on a USB drive. It installed fine. I made sure it is booting from the USB. However, it is assigning an IP address of 0.0.0.0 and there is no option to set a static IP manually.
When selecting "Configure Network Interfaces", I am provided a single option "em0" which throws no errors upon reset.
Why would it work when booted from the hard drive but not from the USB?
