Hello, Chris,

> I presume it still isn't possible to book a 4801 from the USB port,

*I* can't (yet) provide any testimonial, but there *is* this:

   http://www.omanurkka.net/files/freebsd-boot.txt

providing instructions for booting FreeBSD on a Soekris Net 4501 from
a USB-HDD ...

> even if it were, FreeBSD (and hence pfsense)

That may well be the case.  Although, I *can* netboot/install 'pure'
FreeBSD successfully to the Net4801 ... but not pfSense.  The
correlation may NOT be 100% :-/

That I haven't heared, either.  Perhaps I'll come across it in further digging.

Again, I'm "dropping back" to "just" FreeBSD ... for now.  If/when I
can find a pfSense 'fix', I'll definitely take the plunge.  It's very
much the solution I'd like to put in place.

Thanks!
