Solution: You cannot upgrade 2.7.x to 2.8.0 via the GUI if you are running 32-bit. You must use the amd64.iso.gz to do a clean install, then restore your 2.7.x config backup (XML). The ISO method allows you to keep your ZFS pool layout intact during the reinstall.


gunzip pfSense-CE-2.8.0-RELEASE-amd64.iso.gz

Or use 7-Zip (Windows) or Archive Utility (macOS).

The installer is the same familiar menu-driven interface. Choose ZFS, set your interfaces, and you’re running 2.8.0.

The file name explicitly states amd64. You might also see i386 (32-bit) floating around for older versions. Here is the hard truth: If you are installing pfSense CE 2.8.0, you must use the amd64 version.
