/etc/platform embedded for CF cards
-
_I am running a full pfSense installed on a CF card. To save the CF from an early death I have changed the contents of /etc/platform to 'embedded'.
This gives me a dirty disk error at boot time but works ok. However when I want to upgrade I need to change the 'embedded' back to 'pfSense' otherwise the upgrade leaves me with an unbootable machine that needs to be reinstalled.
Anyone else get this? Anyway around this problem?

it works fine for me

I tried this again.
upgraded firmware to latest update : pfSense-Full-Update-1.2-BETA-1.tgz (today)
using edit.php change /etc/platform from 'pfSense' to 'embedded'
using exec.php run /etc/rc.conf_mount_roreboot
then change firmware to an older update I have on my hardisk ( pfSense-Full-Update-1.2-BETA-1.tgz.gz from -18 may 2007) and the firewall gives me a '|' on the console during bootup and hangs…
falcon, do you do this some other way?

hmm i didnt do this using exec.php run /etc/rc.conf_mount_ro
however i did reboot, should it run that its self ?
However I havnt used 1.2 beta im using 1.1

I'm fairly sure that on reboot your filesystem would be back to read-write, I don't think that it would stay read-only.
