When you enter your mainboard BIOS and is the CF card detected? I have a 4gb and cf/ata converter plugged in my old PIII Dell and it works without any issue, is your PC/Server an old one or maybe not so old? Have you done this setup using physdiskwrite-0.5.1? Perhaps you are installing using the embeded version which has to be accessed via com1(serial). Have formatted the CF card using fat? I couldn't see my CF card in the first place, had to format it before I plugged into the converter. In theory it has to work, but try using physdiskwrite from m0n0wall site in order to write the pfSense-1.2-Embedded.img.gz version, there are detailed directions on the pfsense wiki.
