SOLVED pfSense in a VM won't boot until I VNC in to it

[no_connection]

Since I could not get FreeNAS to run much else I have not done much to it than getting a pfSense box running.
And since I'm running this FreeNAS as a VM to play around with I didn't really care that much.
ESXi 6.0 on a HP G7 with E5649 2 core 16GB to FN and 1GB to pfSense.

Now to the problem I have had for the few years I have had it running, I have to VNC in to the VM for it to boot, no matter if it's after restarting or trying to manually start the VM. I did not bring it up before thinking it would get fixed as a simple bug but it has been persistent for a really long time so I thought I would bring it up in case it's something that needs to be fixed or if it's something else being wrong.

Uncheck "wait to boot": https://www.ixsystems.com/documentation/freenas/11.2-U7-legacy/vms.html#vnc-interface or https://www.ixsystems.com/documentation/freenas/11.2-U7/virtualmachines.html#vnc-interface depending on which version of the GUI you're using.

Thanks!
I am not going to feel dumb to not find that, with autostart on and manually starting it there should not be anything stopping it from starting. Maybe they changed the default setting of it later since I did make it a long time ago.
