The 64MB image works.  Resizing it to 512 is what did it. :\ I suppose I could go back and re-calculate the sectors I made it grow and try it again.  Really wish there were a way to automate this, or just create a clone install of arbitrary size, a la Carbon Copy Cloner for OSX.

Check the main site - BETA 2 is out… http://www.pfsense.org/index.php?id=22 UPDATE: pfSense 1.0 BETA 2 posted! We are proud to announce the availability of BETA2. Countless fixes and a lot of work went into this release. Get it at your nearest mirror. Thanks to everyone who has been helping us by reporting and diagnosing bugs. ;D 8)

Currently I have 3 gateway to internet and in the future we are going to have for internet gateway. Each internet gateway using its own firewall, which are: firewall #1: 172.16.4.7 firewall #2: 172.16.4.17 firewall #3: 172.16.4.38 I have configure pfsense 1.0 beta in my machine, equipped with 6 NICs (nv0, ste0, ste1, ste2, ste3, wb0). My LAN probed as nv0 and assign with ip 172.16.4.254. So i need to make another ip alias for that interface and the user shouldn't change gateway setting in their TCP/IP properties. And for my WAN interface, I have 3 blocks of public IP. WAN #1: 203.77.230.xxx/29 (assign on ste0) WAN #2: 202.169.57.xxx/29 (assign on ste1) WAN #3: 202.159.10.xxx/29 (assign on ste2) WAN #4: TBA (assign on ste3) I want to use those IPs for each internet service in my company. For example, I want to use: IP 203.77.230.1, 202.169.57.1 and 202.159.10.1 for my FTP, DNS and HTTP service. IP 203.77.230.2, 202.169.57.2 and 202.159.10.2 for my SMTP and POP3 service. I'm trying with CARP or Other in Virtual IPs and still not able to port scan that IPs. How to that in pfsense?  ??? ??? ??? Btw. in the future, i'm going to use latest NIC (wb0) to use as failover interface.

@diegoc: The solution is, make the partitions with a freeBSD installation CD and then install the pfsense, skiping the partition wizard. Now is working. ;D Yep, sysinstall works around the problem when you hit the edge case (bug).

Actually if it stops at "/" it's booting. The embedded versions have all the output at com1 after starting to boot up. check com1 serial console at 9600 baud with a nullmodemcable. See http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Chapter_3:_Installing_pfSense#Embedded for some more details on differences between platforms.

it will always use ipadresses Is there any way to get OLSR to pass regular ethernet (MAC) traffic such as using VPN over OLSR set up in pfSense, or other trick? Another possibility if the above won't work: Can pfSense in Bridge mode also do "spanning tree protocol"?  If so, is this possible solution worthy? Thank you for the helpful replies, [ thread continued/merged here:  http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=657.0 -Pete

give all the ap's the same sidd thats all when ap1 gets to weak the client pc or laptop will look for the same sidd but a stronger one and makes a conection to that one and then releases the weaker one

If you used internet explorer to download the image it may have extracted the contents and ended up with a .tar file?

Hi, gilf, hi Scott! I solved this problem without additional soapbox (hub).

Ok hoba, thank you very much for your response! It's such a shame becouse i love pfSense and i wanted to run it on that computer… I´ll keep trying. Thank you again. Cheers

Nice, you seem to use it to the max  ;D However the additional hardware does need additional power. Make sure the PSU is not at it's limit. While performing a reset it might need a power peak from the PSU to reinitialise everything.

We have started documentation. Have you already found this: http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Chapter_3:_Installing_pfSense ?

http://wiki.pfsense.com/wikka.php?wakka=BuildingpFSense http://wiki.pfsense.com/wikka.php?wakka=VMWareDevelopersEdition

Yes, the *.img files are for the embeddeds.

We have 2 methods of developing you're own image.  The VMWare developers edition and the pfSense developers edition. We do not plan on adding more work to a already complicated/time cosnuming release process.

Please try this: http://wiki.pfsense.com/wikka.php?wakka=BootTroubleShooting The newer versions have a completely different installer.
