[pfSense Support] CF 1.0.1 boot failure

[Tortise]

Hi

 

I am trying to run pfSense from a CF card, have written images to various cards.  Monowall boots fine and runs from 16M CF card so it would seem the IDE CF reader is ok.  This is on a Pentium 166 system.

 

With pfSense, trying a number of different CF cards 128M and 256M:

 

The BTX loader seems to run OK.  Then I get:

 

FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader, Revision 1.1
([EMAIL PROTECTED], Sunday Oct 29 01:30:00 UTC 2006)
Loading /boot/defaults/loader.conf
/

 

The "/" does a couple of circles then stops...

 

I have tried to get the serial output by connecting HyperTerminal to the serial port.  It seems it might be too early to get a serial output - as I do not get anything?

 

Any guidance would be appreciated.
