Re: [pfSense Support] LEX Light system, USB Boot
Hi Josh, It does not work because, by default, pfSense does not have USB support enabled in the kernel. I have enabled USB so I can boot pfSense on Hacom's systems from USB flash drives, as well as to be able to use USB keyboard and mouse.

RE: [pfSense Support] LEX Light system, USB Boot
That's not correct, at least not for newer versions. I'm setting up nexcoms with usb keyboards and I have an experimental live-usb-stick that was generated by a script from Dario to convert the livecd to run from usbstick with custom config.xml which boots up at the nexcom fine. Don't have a system like the LEX here to test but I guess it should work with that as well. The installer is not prepared for the usb drive, that's why you can't install from the stick to hdd but it would make a great tool for rapid desasterrecovery or deployment of systems with custom config as you even can specify a custom factory default config.xml with Dario's script.

Hi Holger, Where is Dario's script? Once USB is enabled, it will boot from USB devices on the OpenBrick-E, which is similar to the Lex Light CV860A3R53.

RE: [pfSense Support] LEX Light system, USB Boot
Hi Bao, it's not available yet as the installer doesn't work with it. I'll talk to Dario if we can offer it as inofficial unsupported download somewhere for now. But USB-Keyboards work just fine with the plain live-cd. However you have to replug the keyboard once it asks you for the vlans or is booted up. It works after a hotplug event. If your solution works without hotplug we should try to merge it in. Holger > -Original Message- > From: Bao C.

I apologize for not checking the FAQ before I asked this, is see that there is an entry for it. It does say to post to the list if someone has success or failure so I guess I wasn't totally off. Bao, could you point me to documentation on how to enable USB in the Kernel. These LEX machines have an internal compact flash slot so I will probably be trying that avenue also. Thanks Josh Bao C.

Re: [pfSense Support] LEX Light system, USB Boot
Hi Josh, To enable USB, I make changes to the following file: /boot/defaults/loader.conf usb_load="NO" ---> usb_load="YES" umass_load="NO" ---> umass_load="YES" I have CF images for LEX machines at the following URL, http://shopping.hacom.net/catalog/pub/pfsense/ Look for those with the string "ad2" inside. To build a 256MB CF image, do the following, zcat pfSense-beta1-256-ad2.img.gz | dd of=/dev/da0 bs=16k I build my own using grub as the boot loader. FreeBSD loader works intermittently on Hacom systems.

RE: [pfSense Support] LEX Light system, USB Boot
Hi Holger, For the USB keyboard to work correctly without unplugging and repluging it back, the "hint.atkbd.0.flags" line has to be removed from the /boot/device.hints file. Since Hacom systems include ones with PS/2 keyboard and mouse, and ones without, we just enable the USB so we can boot from the flash drive. It makes our lives easier to support pfSense on ur systems. Maybe I will put the USB flash drive images up on the web as an alternative to the LiveCD.

Re: [pfSense Support] LEX Light system, USB Boot
So, I've been keeping tabs on the Lex Neo with pfSense for a while now... and while its clear that it can be done with help form Bao's script, what happens when an update comes out? Would I have to pull the card out and run Bao's script again with the new version? or once pfSense is on the card will I just be able to use it as normal, updating through the built in updater? confused.dasOn 2/23/06, Bao C.

It makes our lives easier tosupport pfSense on ur systems.Maybe I will put the USB flash drive images up on the web as an alternative to the LiveCD.BaoOn Wed, February 22, 2006 9:22 am, Holger Bauer wrote:> Hi Bao,>> it's not available yet as the installer doesn't work with it.
