Its funny you should mention this as I am in the middle of doing exactly
the same thing with an ALIX board from
http://www.yawarra.com.au/hw-alix2.php
I installed the 2GB CF card in a card reader on my PC and booted off the
CD and installed pfSense onto the card.
I then inserted the card in my very bright new ALIX appliance and
everything appeared to go quite well but half way through the boot up it
stopped and asked where my root partition was.
It appears that /etc/fstab had different device names for my partitions.
Instead of /dev/ad0s1a for / I had /dev/da0s1a. A quick edit of fstab
and another reboot and everything started perfectly.
The end result is I can confirm that the full version does happily run
on a CF card and ALIX board.
Regards,
Digger.

I want to buy an Alix (or Wrap), and plug in a CF Harddisk.
Would it be possible to push a full version (instead of the embedded ?).
Yep. You have to use grub (check the box on the boot loader screen) to
boot full installs on ALIX boards but they do work.
