pfsense is a turn-key system requiring its own dedicated hard disk, which gets wiped during "easy install". Perhaps, in theory, you could transplant an existing installation into a new partition, but you'd really have to know what you're doing. I don't think Linux can create or write freebsd filesystems, reading them might work. > The second query is thus; from what I understand, the "pfSense Default > Configuration" has "LAN is configured with a static IPv4 address of > 192.168.1.1/24".

You can change the LAN interface's IP address somewhere during easy install IIRC, it's on the console at the end of installation.
