Thanks Josh, doesnt seem to be enough though. It seems to remount itself RO as soon as i try to write to it.

There are instructions on how to remount the flash drive into RW mode in the FAQ. http://faq.pfsense.org/index.php?action=artikel&cat=11&id=171&artlang=en There's the rope, I hope it is enough. pfflowd shouldn't be writing when in use, so this should be safe to use. Remount to RW mode, install pfflowd, then remount to RO mode and run. But I'm no expert. I think the searching in the FAQ might be broken, it wasn't working for me. Can anyone confirm.
