Re: [pfSense Support] problem installing full version on alix board w/ 5gb microdrive
Can you post the error at step 10? Or the entire serial boot log so we can see where you are getting stuck? Thanks --Bill On Wed, Nov 26, 2008 at 8:26 AM, Patrick M. Murray, M.F.A. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I followed these instructions (pasted below), and I cannot get the file system to mount. What am I doing wrong? It lists no GEOM file systems when I push the '?'. But I sat here and watched it install, it loads up via serial interface, but step #10 is where I am having the problem. What do I do? Thanks Ps. Using 1.21RC2 iso -patrick Steps In VirtualBox, create a new virtual machine with USB redirection, no need to set up virtual hardrive, use pfSense iso for CD-ROM mapping and add another network interface, 1. 2. Start VirtualBox, pfSense is booting, configure network interfaces, menu should then appear. 3. Plug your USB CF adapter with Microdrive inside. 4. At menu prompt, type option 99 to install. 5. Proceed with the defaults, choose embedded kernel install. Check Grub for boot method. 6. Stop the virtual machine. 7. Eject microdrive, let's now proceed with Wrap. 8. Boot your WRAP with microdrive inside, serial cable connected. 9. Connect the serial console, pfSense should be booting but can't mount root filesystem. 10. When asked, type ufs:/dev/ad0s1a, pfSense boot should mount the root filesystem and complete. 11. Set up your network interfaces 12. On console menu, type option 8. 13. Edit /etc/fstab. Replace /dev/da0s1a to /dev/ad0s1a. Save. 14. Reboot 15.

There have been problems reported with 4 GB drives on ALIX hardware related to a BIOS issue, but in those cases it wouldn't boot at all, didn't boot then not detect the drive. Have the latest BIOS on the ALIX? - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
RE: [pfSense Support] problem installing full version on alix board w/ 5gb microdrive
I don't really have that option, even though it shows it when BSD boots up its screen. It has about a 1 second delay, where you can press the space bar to pause it, so you can select one of the boot options, but I've tried hitting the space bar so many times, and it never stops- just keeps chugging along. One thing I am curious about, that may be the problem, I dunno, is that this is a Seagate 5GB microdrive, and it was too fat to fit into my USB connector, so I took the USB connector apart to allow it to fit. When it slides in, it has its 'info side' up. And this works. When I try and put it in the wrap, it seems to only fit with the 'seagate name' up. I tried flipping it, but I don't want to force it, and it slides in fine 'seagate up'. I dunno... -Original Message- From: Bill Marquette [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 26, 2008 3:54 PM To: support@pfsense.com Cc: support@pfsense.com Subject: Re: [pfSense Support] problem installing full version on alix board w/ 5gb microdrive Interesting, the disk isn't even showing up in dmesg.
