      what you said really works
      but I'm wanting to do everything in one
      to use only one stick
      as it loads the boot I think that works
      the problem that it emulates the ISO file
      so I'm lost  ;D

        The problem is that it doesn't emulate a CD-ROM, it's making it think the ISO is a hard drive.

        It may be da0 where the root resides, but maybe not, that may just be the USB stick itself. And ad0 is probably the hard drive of the target machine.

        You'll have to try each of the things in that list to see if any of them work.

        ufs:/dev/da0s1
        ufs:/dev/da0
        cd9660:/dev/acd0t01
        ufs:/dev/acd0
        ufs:/dev/ad0

        It could be any or none of those.

              but if I run
              msdosfs: ​​/ dev/da0s1a
              it returns me an error

              Trying to mount root from msdosfs:/dev/da0s1
              lookup of /dev for devfs, erro:2
              init: not found in path /sbin/init:/sbin/oinit:/sbin/init.bak:/rescue/init:/stand/sysinstall
              panic: no init

                If none of those work then it can't load the root fs of the "cd" and it can't continue, and you're back to what I told you before about it not working and you'll need either a separate USB stick.

                If you're lucky then perhaps you can get grub to load the memstick disk image directly, though I'm not sure if it can do that.

                  maybe I'm wrong
                  then correct me
                  if the grub is called an ISO file
                  he will emulate my da0 as a cd
                  at boot time when he is recognizing my hardware
                  he found my flash drive and not been able to ride because it is in use?
                  If so I unzip the iso file to a folder in my flash drive will do what I can call the grub boot?

                    I really have no idea what grub is doing, what it wants or what it's capable of in that regard.

                    Perhaps someone who is more familiar with grub can offer some input there.

                      Thank you Jimp
                      Yesterday've sent an email to support them even more now nothing
                      perhaps you or someone can help me when I use this program
                      http://www.pendrivelinux.com/boot-multiple-iso-from-usb-multiboot-usb/

                      I'm trying to boot the ISO drawing on the stick

                      Some examples

                      title Ubuntu 10.04.1 (GNOME Desktop x86)
                      find –set-root /ubuntu-10.04.1-desktop-i386.iso
                      map /ubuntu-10.04.1-desktop-i386.iso (0xff)
                      map --hook
                      root (0xff)
                      kernel /casper/vmlinuz file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper persistent iso-scan/filename=/ubuntu-10.04.1-desktop-i386.iso splash
                      initrd /casper/initrd.lz

                      title BackTrack 4 Final (Penetration Testing)
                      find --set-root /bt-boot/vmlinuz
                      kernel /bt-boot/vmlinuz BOOT=casper boot=casper persistent rw splash
                      initrd /bt-boot/initrd.gz
                      boot

                      How could properly call the boot pfsense?

                        There are no examples of booting any BSD distro using pendrivelinux anywhere on their site (that I could find).

                        The script is designed for booting a linux kernel and pfSense isn't linux.

                          You're right!
                          but I saw people trying it and telling people that and
                          possible to do this work.
                          The boot is fine, but I think in Escape to
                          loader prompt can manually enter any command
                          To successfully continue the boot
                          maybe:

                          vfs.root.mountfrom = cd9660: / dev/da0s1a
                          and since he runs through a ISO that the
                          pendrive

                          Something is missing

                            Hello everyone

                            I returned to report that I had a small evolution in my problem but is not complete
                            The solution would be a dirty

                            at the time of mountroot> I apply the command msdosfs: ​​da0s1 to automate or do I insert the file loarder.conf

                            set vfs.root.mountfrom=msdosfs:da0s1
                            set vfs.root.mountfrom.options=rw

                            An important detail and make the iso image extracted at the root of the pendrive

                            This will load normally but still a problem occurs later on

                            Trying to mount root from msdosfs:ad0s1a

                            /

                            Welcome to pfSense 2.0 RC1  …

                            Launching the init system...

                            At this point it freezes completely stopped what can be done?
