Hello,

I am trying to do a full install of pfSense onto a CF card. I have tested the card extensively and it works perfectly. I want a full install, not an embedded one, so I can utilize packages.

When I boot the live CD in VMWare, it gets stuck while installing. I am using a USB card reader. I have tried ACPI off, removing all unnecessary devices from the virtual machine, using different machines, etc. and the result is always the same. Even after days of sitting there, we're at the exact same percentage (usually 35 or 41) and this command: /usr/local/bin/cpdup -vvv -I -o /usr /mnt/usr

Do you have a different card reader? There are many of us that routinely install this way through VMware and have never had a problem. I use SanDisk readers, though I know others use different ones.

Another option would be to boot a PC from the CD and install it to the USB card reader. Could be something about your reader that works fine that way but not with VMware's USB redirection.



Are there directions on how to execute a full install from inside FreeBSD?

That's not possible.
