        You can install nano using the pkg_add command or just use the ee editor which is included.

          I has try this fix here: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=37494.0;prev_next=prev
          to add in /boot/loader.conf this entry```
          vm.pmap.shpgperproc="500"

          After an Reboot i check in Console and its Default```
          /sbin/sysctl vm.pmap.shpgperproc
          vm.pmap.shpgperproc: 200
          
          

          So how i can fix this error Message:

          	kernel: Approaching the limit on PV entries, consider increasing either the vm.pmap.shpgperproc or the vm.pmap.pv_entry_max sysctl.

            /boot/loader.conf and /boot/loader.conf.local are for loader variables, not sysctls. Modify sysctls through System -> Advanced, click on System Tunables then click on the "+" at the bottom of the page to add a new entry.
