I have could you create a file of the right size, loopback mount it as a file system and install to that, tweak it as much as you want, and then 'dd' it to the CF card? - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

There are many of us that routinely install this way through VMware and have never had a problem. I use SanDisk readers, though I know others use different ones. Another option would be to boot a PC from the CD and install it to the USB card reader. Could be something about your reader that works fine that way but not with VMware's USB redirection. Are there directions on how to execute a full install from inside FreeBSD? That's not possible. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[pfSense Support] Alternative Full Install Installation Methods
Hello, I am trying to do a full install of pfSense onto a CF card. I have tested the card extensively and it works perfectly. I want a full install, not an embedded one, so I can utilize packages. When I boot the live CD in VMWare, it gets stuck while installing. I am using a USB card reader. I have tried ACPI off, removing all unnecessary devices from the virtual machine, using different machines, etc. and the result is always the same. Even after days of sitting there, we're at the exact same percentage (usually 35 or 41) and this command: /usr/local/bin/cpdup -vvv -I -o /usr /mnt/usr Being that I can't seem to find any good work around and nobody on the list has been able to suggest anything that works, I would like to install this software another way. Are there directions on how to execute a full install from inside FreeBSD? I can fairly easily set that up in VMWare, and then I can get a lot more control and access to troubleshoot any issues that occur with installation. -Galen - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Scott, What is the FreeBSD installer version. I know on my old Compaq 1850R's I couldn't install due to a known fixed bug on the main tree's installer. Maybe there is some other driver issue. Galen, Can you boot normal FreeBSD on this box and get the equivalent of lspci? Also make sure that PnP OS is off, APM is OFF, and delayed transaction are on in the bios.

Re: [pfSense Support] Alternative Full Install Installation Methods
I would recommend using a microdrive if your doing a full install, you can find 4gb hitachi drives on ebay for cheap, according to someone on the forums Model: HMS360404D5CF00 (3K4 Series 4GB) is know to work. The newer hitachi drives 3K6 Series should work aswell, they are a bit more difficult to find. Here are the model numbers HMS360606D5CF00 3K6 Series 6GB HMS360604D5CF00 3K6 Series 4GB HMS360603D5CF00 3K6 Series 3GB On Jan 26, 2008 3:05 PM, Richard Sperry [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: That's the one I meant.
