Hi Ruediger, it is much easier: 1. Backup running config from embedded install. 2. Install the full install onto the new hardware 3. connect to the new install to standard 192.168.x.y IP 4. restore backup, you will be asked for the new NIC mappings 5. reboot 6. check, maybe adjust the settings, reboot 6. go live no need to have a virtual machine and a disk cloning solution. bye Christoph _______________________________________________ List mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list
