that's the sound that pfsense uses to let you know audibly that it is fully up. it plays the same notes in reverse when its shutting down. VMWare screws it up and drags the half second melody into a long drawn out mess. by default, it is played thru the PC speaker, not the soundcard hence why VMWare will still play it even if the pfsense image does not have a sound card associated with it. -Sean

It is almost well, but I still met two problems: 1. During the dev bootstrap process, the script reported the below errors: Unknown collection “tools” Unknown collection “www” However, it still download the collection “pfSense”. It looks like that it could not download collection “tools”&”www”, do I have another way to get them? 2. when booting the development edition on Vmware workstation 6, before the console menu showing up, it always send several seconds big sound though I remove the sound card in VM setting. Do you have solution for disabling this sound? Highly appreciated for any comment, suggestions for the above problems! Have a good day!
