I got my hands on a used Ampro ReadyBoard RB800 - Celeron 800Mhz, 1g ram, 80g hd in a small footprint case, almost all I/O except PS2 mouse(4 USB, 2 lan, vga, 2 serial ports, sound, Compact Flash, PS2 kbrd). It came with WinXP loaded on the HD.
I downloaded the 8/7/10 snapshot of pfSense Beta4 cdrom LiveCD(i386). Can only boot using SafeMode. Normal and no ACPI (options 1&2) lockup the machine during the boot process. I tried installing pfSense from safe mode cd rom boot and it fails to load from the HD. Get the following on the screen: F1 pfSense F6 PXE boot: F1 (spinner starts and immediately locks) Unit is locked at this point. I don't know FreeBSD that well to try to force pfSense to boot as SafeMode. I did go into the BIOS and turn off ACPI, no change. Any suggestions would be most welcome.
