Yup that's of course true. You can still boot from CD but store the config on USB I imagine (lot of old PCs not able to boot from USB.) CF IDE sounds nice too. How about CD-RW support LOL?
You can use the nexcom either with the embedded image when running from cf-card (at least 128 mb media required for the recent version) or a full install from hdd.
See http://www.mail-archive.com/support@pfsense.com/msg03811.html for an earlier ml post where I summed up some things about the nexcom 1041c.
No, you should go directly to the latest of the snapshot builds now that you can find in the ~sullrich folder. In case you are on embedded you have to reflash as the RC2x-series builds didn't support the new update mechanism.
I have followed the instructions to http://wiki.pfsense.com/wikka.php?wakka=FullInstallOnWRAP
So from last post, i see that there is no way to run full on microdrive.
Is there someone i can email about getting a custom build.
The problem is solved and I made a typo in one of the 50 addresses and a "/" was at the end of the IP number.
On reload I don't get any warnings anymore to my relief.
Thanks for your reply Hoba and I sorry to for any inconvienance on your side caused by my TYPO.
Best wishes, Marcel

I know you've marked this as solved, but where was the typo? In the alias input screen? If so, maybe we're missing a validation check that should have caught that.
cvs_sync.sh is gone. Upgrade through the webgui to the latest snapshot: http://pfsense.com/~sullrich/1.0-SNAPSHOT-09-03-06/
If you are on embedded you have to reflash as these builds need 128 MB partitions. On the other hand embeddeds are now upgradeable too due to the larger partition.
Yes, go ahead and replace the card and boot pfSense. It should complain about a interface mismatch. If i it does not then simply reasssign the interfaces and reboot.
During filter reloads and interfaces changes it is true that the console will freeze. This is part of the remaining Big Giant Lock in FreeBSD where the TTY is still under it. If you give it a moment to recover or better yet upgrade to RC2e then these problems will go away.
I backed up the complete config, restored it and it wouldn't let me create any more rules. So I'm not sure if it is working… then again, it's been giving me hell today, so maybe its the platform (old Dell desktop).
