            It seems there is no support fpr Memory Disks on your System.
            Does a```
            #> kldload /boot/kernel/geom_md.ko

              kldload /boot/kernel/geom_md.ko

              kldload: can't load /boot/kernel/geom_md.ko: File exists

              Any other idea?

              Thanks,

                The Sourceimage has to be decompressed FIRST!

                Use```
                #>./mkflash_new.sh 256 pfSense.img

                  I'm very sorry!

                  I forgot gunzip the image file before running the script …

                  Many thanks!

                    What values should i use inside the following variables:

                    • flash_MB

                    • conf_MB

                    • heads

                    • sectors

                      Hello!

                      I don't know if it is standard, but I found at http://www.industrialcompactflash.com/datasheets/wincflash.pdf :

                      Table 48: Product Capacity & Part Numbering

                      | Card Capacity Part Number Real Capacity Total Sectors/Card (Max LBA+1) Cylinders Heads Sectors |

                      | 256 MB CFLASH-G-256-I 262MB 513,536 1,003 16 32 |
                      | 512 MB CFLASH-G-512-I 526MB 1,028,160 1,020 16 63 |
                      | 1 GB CFLASH-G-1024-I 1,054MB 2,060,352 2,044 16 63 |
