      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.

              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

                          ___

                          ___/ f \

                          / p ___/ Sense

                          _/ 
                              _
                          /

                          Welcome to pfSense 2.0 RC1  …
                          Mounting filesystems... done.
                          Creating symlinks......done.
                          Launching the init system...

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