You can use the PC platform like an embedded one by
echo embedded > /etc/platform
Then reboot. When your box is in this state, the CF/HDD is read-only.
But you loose access to packages and firmware upgrades.
(to reenable normal mode
echo pfSense > /etc/platform
Then reboot

monowall?
I wouldn't recommend it. On the embedded platform, no problem. The PC
(full) platform mounts the disks read/write - not a good idea to just power
off the box.
