Re: [pfSense Support] CF 1.0.1 APPARENT boot failure - RESOLVED - SUGGESTIONS
Hi Holger et al Yes, it proved to be the null modem cable - and some errant assumptions on my part! May I suggest: 1) for the documentation - an addition that clarifies the differences in the CF card bootup sequence between Monowall and pfSense, as pfSense does not behave the same as Monowall (as one might have expected) - as the video and keyboard stop responding very early on, and the subsequent boot information is transferred and only available down the serial cable. FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader, Revision 1.1 ([EMAIL PROTECTED], Sunday Oct 29 01:30:00 UTC 2006) Loading /boot/defaults/loader.conf / 2) that just before pfSense transfers control to the serial cable that it also send a message to the video monitor, as suggested below. (So that one might not be lead to believe the install has hung, as one might be tempted to believe) FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader, Revision 1.1 ([EMAIL PROTECTED], Sunday Oct 29 01:30:00 UTC 2006) Loading /boot/defaults/loader.conf / Keyboard input and video display stopping and diverting to terminal, via COM1 serial null modem link. Connect to continue from there... 3) That one beep sounds when the default install comes to the first choice, so that the installer gets to know the boot sequence has completed correctly, even if they are not getting a serial output. If it helps anyone the HyperTerminal Config (for a PC using a CF card - not an embedded device) is 9600 bps. I hope these help someone in the future!

RE: [pfSense Support] CF 1.0.1 APPARENT boot failure - RESOLVED - SUGGESTIONS
We can't display a message as the kernel is compiled without video support. This is needed to make a wrap bootup as it doesn't simulate a fake videocard with it's bios like the soekris boxes do. It would simply crash and not boot up. Without video support compiled in we can't display any messages. Everything else would need hacking the kernelmessages afaik and that's something we don't want to do. For the documentation part: http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Chapter_3:_Installing_pfSense (somebody did a newer version which doesn't have all that info, maybe it should be merged back in but the doc mediawiki is still ... We'll, let's call it unfinished; help needed here) I don't think a notification beep would help that much. We play a sound when it finished booting so you know at a headless setup it should be ready to be used. In case you don't hear this jingle after some time you have to check the console anyway.

[pfSense Support] Losing Packets through the firewall
Guys, Great product, however I appear to be losing packets when traversing the firewall and Im not sure wether or not this should be happening. Let me give you some background. I have 2 pfsense boxes running on p4 3Ghz 2Gb RAM HP Servers with 4 interfaces in each. Sitting behind the pfsense boxes are 3 freebsd boxes running web services. From the WAN when we perfom a simple test (approx 6 packets per second) to the web services we intermittently experience packet loss to the extent that our test fails. If I turn the firewall off in pfsense this issue goes away. Hopefully someone can shed some light of this little problem CHeers This email and any attachment(s) is intended only for the use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain information that is confidential and privileged.
