Hi All,

 

                I've been playing round this afternoon with the memstick and
embedded images - but can't seem to find what I want!

 

                Basically I'd like to be able to boot the embedded image
from my USB Thumb drive, just stuck into the front USB on the server.
However the memstick image appears to be a LiveCD image, not embedded and
trying to install over the top of itself doesn't work particularly well.

 

                Writing an embedded image to the USB stick results in a boot
prompt (F1: pfSense, F2: pfSense, F5: Disk 0) which is a bit odd, and then
it starts printing #'s on the screen and nowt happens.

 

                Am I missing something here, or am I barking up the wrong
tree?

 

                Worst case I could throw a sata hard disk in there and
install pfsense to it, but I'd rather stick to embedded images where
possible, and having them on the front USB seems ideal to me for maintenance
purposes. This new site is one of 5, the other 4 running a mix of pfSense
1.2.2 and 2.0.3, some on embedded systems, some on scsi raid's, but all on
old hardware, so I'd like to migrate to newer kit.

 

                The machine in question is a PowerEdge R200 (2C/3Ghz Xeon,
2GB RAM and bugger all else save the embedded Gig LAN).

 

                Any help would be appreciated!
