(solved)Automatic Boot from USB harddrive
-
here it is:
http://pfsensepict.dyndns.org
-
Sure that's the right URL?
Host pfsensepict.dyndns.org not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
-
oops, try again, it should be working now that i activated it! :)
-
Remove this from /boot/loader.conf and /boot/loader.conf.local
autoboot_delay="3"
It probably is ignoring the other lines because it says there is a syntax error on that line.
-
Thaanks, do you have a sample of how it should be written?
-
/boot/loader.conf should probably be empty.
And if you want to mimic option 3 exactly, /boot/loader.conf.local should only contain:
hw.mca.enabled=0 hw.bce.tso_enable=0 kern.cam.boot_delay=10000
Nothing else.

Ok i will do so.
I found a file call loader.conf (<>loader.conf.local)where the " autoboot_delay="3" " is writen, what should i do with this one?
-
Remove it from both files.

Remove it from both files.
You are the hitman jimp!
Ok i guess there was some thing wrong in my usb drive, so i decided to start from scrash and re-install f sense on it.
Then i create the file /boot/loader.conf/local (as you recommended it) including
hw.mca.enabled=0 hw.bce.tso_enable=0 kern.cam.boot_delay=10000
Then reboot, thenโฆ.Miracle! It works!!
Thanks guys

Same situation here. I'm using a 2,5 inch USB disk drive for my pfSense server. I needed to press 3 in the pfSense boot menu to get it to work. Using the steps outlined in this forum topic I was able to have it boot using USB support automatically. I have put the easy steps together in a tutorial at http://www.zomers.eu/knowledge/pfSense/Pages/Configure-pfSense-2.0-RC1-to-boot-from-USB-disk.aspx
