Hello,

I have been playing around with pfSense last weekend, trying
to make it bootable on the compact flash on our hardware. I have
built some images that could be "dding" directly to the compact
flash.

These images assume the CF to be on the secondary master IDE,
/dev/ad2, which is the case for our hardware or Lex systems. I
use grub for the boot loading since it is less "finicky" about
the CF brands. They have worked great with the Kingston Elite
Pro CF, but almost any other CF brand should work.

They are at the following URL,

128MB CF image:

256MB CF image:
http://shopping.hacom.net/catalog/pub/pfsense/256pfSense-0.84.img.gz

512MB CF image:
http://shopping.hacom.net/catalog/pub/pfsense/512pfSense-0.84.img.gz

1GB CF image:
http://shopping.hacom.net/catalog/pub/pfsense/1gbpfSense-0.84.img.gz

To install, just dd them to the appropriate size CF as follows:
gunzip -c 1gbpfSense-0.84.img.gz | dd of=/dev/sda bs=16k

Let me know how they work!
