pfSense on Watchguard M370
-
@tapnet boot into a Linux Live USB, open Terminal and type lspci see If the card shows up. ESXi removes support.
-
Its a factory made cable, but to add to this I have tried a M2 to PCI-E card and that didnt work either so they must've nerf'd the bios theres no options either to change PCI settings I guess thats to prevent people adding cards from M720/M670 etc to lower end models.
Shame.
-
Hmm, seems like an odd choice given it won't fit in the case. And they would likely need a custom bios to to do it.
-
Hi All, Just want to report back that my M470 successfully booted with the 2017 BIOS using a more reliably sourced E3-1260Lv5. So careful where you get your cheap CPUs from. :)
-
I recently picked up two M470s relatively cheap on eBay and installing pfSense was a breeze. I wanted 10Gb networking, and rather than jerry-rig my own solution, I picked up a Lanner module branded as the LANDITEC NCS2-IXM204 and it worked without any issues. Only downside to it is it isn't Watchguard red, lol. They're nice little boxes.

@kingwilliam maybe I wrote it wrong, in fact I need a bios with microcodes for v6 processors
-
@HangmansNoose001380 hi could you send me the bios for m470 with micro codes for v6 processor
-
what version of pfSense are you guys using. When using 2.7.2 TUI It seems to only allow using ZFS? Am I missing something?
I am installing from USB on an M370 using putty. After a successful install using ZFS and rebooting and then booting from ada0 (256GB Kingston mstata) pfSense does not boot.
Any help would be appreciated.
-
You should be able to install either ZFS or UFS.
You need to enable the serial port in the installer or it will use the default ports.
How does it fail? Are you sure it's installing to that drive?
-
Yep - enabled serial ports in the installer, and verified it installed to ada0. I will clear the mstata and try again and report back.
-
@Nerd2600 All set. I needed to expunge the meta data on the mSata.
-
@hangmansnoose001380 Can you DM me the BIOS-File please?
-
@Carnivore-0 Anyone have a copy of the non-passworded bios, it would be gratefully appreciated.
-
@Carnivore-0 the password has been known for some time and can be found here in the thread if you scroll through the posts ;-)
-
PM sent regarding the bios file. I never actually used it myself after the password was found and speedshift support appeared in FreeBSD.
-
@stephenw10 Grateful Sir for the information and thank you for the response.
