Mostly not. It just repeats what you already know and you don't need to resize (assuming those directions are still correct - I suspect it may be different now). > I suspect that I may not be loading the image correctly.

Windows (obviously) will do "wierd" stuff - I've seen it appear to mount the flash (even without a visible filesystem), but of course not work. You should see something if you mount the partitions shown in the bsd disklabel though. > I noticed that there were soekris-specific pfsense images at one point - > are these no longer needed with the generic "embedded" image? Or would > loading an old one, and then upgrading from the web interface help? At this time, OS level upgrades aren't part of the embedded build - upgrade images only update the php files and shell scripts. The embedded image did replace the soekris image which was inaccurately named (it works on more than soekris). My only other suggestion would be to try a smaller flash card (we only need a 64M one) and see if that fixes the problem. Chances are the flash size is the problem, or you have a corrupted image. --Bill --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
