Works fine for me - a 256 Mb CF card is relatively cheap, and when it does die they'll be even cheaper. I did a full install from CD by adding a CD drive temporarily to my machine. Because you're using another machine, it may be detecting the wrong or a weird disk geometry. Try using CHS rather than LBA mode. Or do the install on the target machine if you can. Also - what brand of CF card are you using? Some of the uber-fast ones don't work so good. It pays to buy a cheaper CF card for pfSense.

Is there any method for getting this loaded? I tried doing a normal install with VMWare writing directly to the card for a hard drive but when I put it into the machine, it doesn't work. Can anyone point me to a tutorial or anything that would provide me with a method for doing this?
