[pfSense Support] Beta 3 Compact Flash CF Boot Failures

2006-05-05 Thread Tortise



Hi

I have tried booting from a 256M MUSE CF card in a Addonics CF 
/ IDE converter in several PC's, booting won't complete.

Using the standard file it always stalls at:


Loading /boot/defaults/loader.conf
/


I have also tried installing 
using:

http://shopping.hacom.net/catalog/pub/pfsense/pfSense-1.0-BETA3-256-ad0.img.gz


I note grub starts, and FreeBSD install starts, however it 
also fails somewhere around comments about the IDE / CF card.

The CF card was written by dragging and dropping the images 
onto physdiskwrite.exe, so no install options were selected.

Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks in 
advance.

Embedded images have the output redirected to serial console as most embedded 
devices don't have graphicscards (soekris, wrap, ...). Hook up a serial cable 
and use something like hyperterminal or teraterm to view the output at 9600 
baud.

Hi.

Wait, if your PC it's a hacom or a lex-system, you need use
pfSense-1.0-BETA3-256-ad2.img.gz image.

In this PC the CF card it's in the second IDE, not in the first...
