Hello,

I know pfSense has it's Embedded edition/setup, but I have a bit of a predicament. I have 
an architecture-wise "plain" x86 PC but which does not have a keyboard, video, 
NOR a COM port. Without any way to give input to the device I can't configure pfSense.


No extremely simple way to accomplish this. Best is to install with
the medium (HD, CF) in another box that does have keyboard/video or
serial, after install go to a command prompt and edit
/cf/conf/config.xml to manually replace the interfaces as desired,
save changes, rm /tmp/config.cache, shut down, transfer HD/CF, you're
set. If it has a USB port, I think it's possible to pick up the config
off a FAT formatted USB flash drive (at least with the live CD, not
sure about full or embedded).

You can open a feature request at redmine.pfsense.org if you'd like.

Also, the embedded instances of pfSense don't come out-of-the-box ready either. You still need to attach a serial cable and do the initial configuration. This is as it should be.
