Thanks for your answer Jim. My Dell R210 has the Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5709, so I've been digging list archives for FreeBSD and pfSense trying to find solutions related to this hardware. I've found this: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-drivers/2009-June/000949.html
I've disabled the management firmware but the problem persists: installation hangs right after the ncurses interface starts at "waiting for backend" message. I've also tried to boot and install with pfSense 1.2.3 image and everything worked just fine. Seems to be a problem with pfSense-2.0-RC1 or at least with its installer. Is it possible?
