I installed the image to the CF card using dd in Linux with 16k block size. It fired right up and I was able to configure it over the serial port. I would like to resize the slice and growfs if possible. I would have installed the 8g image if there was one... I have done this in Linux many times. Is this possible with the embedded version of pfsense? I haven't done much configuration on the box so I could image the CF card again if needed.
You probably can resize the partitions using 'gparted' on a Linux machine, but then you have to mess with the BSD disk labels on the first two partitions, and then use 'growfs'. I don't think it's worth it, it'll be a steep learning curve if you have little experience with BSD. The first two partitions are never written to, except during a firmware update, so why grow them?
If you make a backup of your configuration through the GUI (one XML file) you have zero risk of losing anything, just reflash and restore if something breaks.
BTW: try 'fdisk /dev/ad0'. /dev/ufs/pfsense0 refers to the first partition, so it won't have an MBR. /dev/ad0 is the first physical device on my Alix board (same processor, same chipset).
