The machine in question is a PowerEdge R200 (2C/3Ghz Xeon, 2GB RAM
and bugger all else save the embedded Gig LAN).
Hi,
I can't remember exactly, but sounds something familiar.
Somewhere in BIOS switch from "automatic" --> "Harddisk"
How the USB-Stick should be handled...
I'm using the nanobsd image with success on USB Sticks.
pfSense-2.0.3-RELEASE-2g-amd64-nanobsd_vga.img.gz
cheers

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!
