Successful Install on Watchguard Firebox X700!

The console output before the report of the mount failure might be informative. For example, there might be a report of disk errors.

Here is the full bootup and me entering "?", as well as "ufs:ad2s1a" Thanks!

The startup shows no signs of recognising your hard disk, which makes me wonder what the system was booting from.

Here's an extract from a pfSense startup showing detection of ad0 (hard disk) on disk channel ata0 on controller atapci0:

I'm a little surprised your startup didn't report any USB devices, but maybe the BIOS disabled USB devices on the grounds they couldn't be used in that box.

There is a boot variable that can be added to /boot/loader.conf.local (or specified to the FreeBSD boot loader to pause a little before looking for the boot device. The variable is kern.cam.boot_delay and it takes a value in milliSeconds, thus kern.cam.boot_delay=10000 will pause 10 seconds.

First time you will need to specify the variable and value at boot time, then you can edit /boot/loader.conf.local so that it will be picked up automatically on subsequent boots. (Or you can boot the hard drive on another system, then edit /boot/loader.conf.local.)

At the FreeBSD boot loader startup (options 1-7 listed), type 6 to get the loader prompt, then at the prompt type the line

kern.cam.boot_delay=10000

then at the next prompt type

boot

and see if that makes a difference.

stephenw10 · Aug 14, 2012, 10:08 AM

Hmm, yes that's a little odd, not detecting a drive.

A problem I have seen, though it may not apply here, is that sometimes when you install on an old drive the boot slice can be offset by a previous install. However you can see the two slices appear correctly as s1a and s1b on your other machine. :-\

I'll try updating the boot delay tonight, I think its current value is 3 seconds (3000), maybe some extra time will help? X700 doesn't have any USB ports that I know of, which is probably why they don't show up. I'm just stumped as to how it can load pfsense off the hdd, yet not find it by any other means??? I updated the "loader.conf" in my other computer last night to see if that would resolve the issue and still nothing. I'll play more tonight.. Thanks!

Hello all !

I welcome Yours. I'm new user pfsense forum. I'm from Poland and I send You greetings.
I found on the Internet this forum and I liked the idea of pfSense on the WG X700 platform. I bought him, I have him (x700) and I want install pfSense on him.

I read forum but I have problem with installation. Do you can help me ? I need instruction "step by step". I want install pfsense on the HDD 40GB with old laptop (ATA 44pin).

I need your help. Thanks.

I forgot ask question: do i can install immediately 2.0.1 version ? If yes, the what exactly ?

stephenw10 · Sep 4, 2012, 10:25 PM

Hi,
The easiest way to do this is to install from the CD on the HD while it's in the laptop and then transfer it to the firebox. When you first boot you will see the mountroot> prompt and you'll have to enter the mount point for root. Then edit the fstab to correct this error on subsequent boots.
Use the i386 iso image of 2.0.1 to do this, e.g: http://mirror.qubenet.net/mirror/pfsense/downloads/pfSense-2.0.1-RELEASE-i386.iso.gz

It's easier to use a CF card and the nanoBSD image.

Thanks Steve !
I go to check it.

moogoom · Sep 5, 2012, 6:37 PM

Steve !
I have problem with console. I remove CF card from X700. On my HDD (40GB from old laptop with ATA interface) I installed pfSense. Installed I make on USB port on my laptop and converter USB-ATA (dedicated for laptop HDD). Installation is OK!. When I connected HDD from X700 and open console terminal (9600-8-n-1-hardware) I have empty screen. When I connect CF, console is live :-) When I make bug ? Maybe I must switched some jumper on the board ?

stephenw10 · Sep 5, 2012, 10:08 PM

Type ? at that prompt to see what drives are available.
Assuming your laptop drive is set as master then the correct entry should be:

ufs:ad2s1a

Also if you did the standard 'full' install you will have to tell it to use the serial port for the console at some point. This can be done in the webgui if you boot fully in the laptop first.

It's all right. My disk mounted, but is problem:

init: can't exec getty '/usr/libexec/getty' for port /dev/ttyv0: No such file or directory

:/

Do You have any idea ? I go to read forum. :-)

it's such communicat:

rm: /booting : No such file or directory

Maybe is problem with bootloader ?

Hello Steve !

I read about this problem on Internet and think maybe problem is with support for disk driver. I find this article in network: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-bugs/2007-April/023225.html . What do you think ?

Pawel

stephenw10 · Sep 6, 2012, 1:52 PM

I don't that is the problem. It's a patch to support SATA drives on FreeBSD 6.2. pfSense 2.0.1 is based on FreeBSD 8.1 and the x700 doesn't have any SATA interfaces anyway.
What have you done so far exactly?

Hi Steve !

Nothing . I have problem with pfSense installation on X700 and I seek solution.

Pawel

moogoom · Sep 6, 2012, 3:32 PM

Steve !

I have an idea. Maybe must I do installing pfSense on the CF card and running X700 with CF card and HDD. Only I don't know, can I move system pfSense from CF card –>on HDD? It's possible ?
Maybe I should change completely method and start from scratch? New install ? I should seek new (different) HDD ?

I don't know why it just happened to me... It don't can be very hard. ;)

I'm happy !!! :-)
Victory !!! I have running system pfSense on the WatchGuard X700.

My problem remove when I connected my HDD on ATA slot in My PC by means of adapter ATA (2,5") <–> ATA (3,5). Next step - as in first post.

Steve - THANK YOU from Your helping. I'm very happy, because I can make first configuration. Question: Can I find on forum any configuration instruction ?

P.S. My english language is bad. Sorry. ;-)

Ah so it was connected via usb when you installed before?
There are instructions in the wiki: http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Main_Page
What configuration do you want?
