Hi - I've got a couple of embedded firewall boxes (older GB1000 Celeron, VIA chipset boxes from gta.com) but the stock pfSense-1.2-RC3-Embedded.img won't boot properly on them.The kernel starts up, sees devices, but fails to mount root. It looks like the compact flash card in these boxes is the slave drive on the second ATA adapter, and it looks like the pfSense kernel isn't expecting a drive there. I couldn't see anyway on the hardware to change the location of the flash drive (e.g. to ata0 master), and when I mounted the flash image, I didn't see anything in /boot or elsewhere that looked like it would get my flash disk seen. When I boot the older GTA 4.x FreeBSD based OS, it shows the flash drive as: atapci0: <VIA 82C596 ATA66 controller> port 0xd000-0xd00f at device 7.1 on pci0 ata0: at 0x1f0 irq 14 on atapci0 ata1: at 0x170 irq 15 on atapci0 ad0: 61MB <TOSHIBA THNCF064MBA> [978/4/32] at ata1-slave PIO2
Not sure, but I'm guessing this is your problem. We require a minimum of 128 MB flash.
