Successful Install on Watchguard Firebox X700!
-
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.
Pawel
I forgot ask question: do i can install immediately 2.0.1 version ? If yes, the what exactly ?

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

Thanks Steve !
I go to check it.Pawel

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 ?Pawel

OK ! I see on my terminal :
mountroot>

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:ad2s1aAlso 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:
Bootup complete.
rm: /booting : No such file or directory
init: can't exec getty '/usr/libexec/getty' for port /dev/ttyv0: No such file or directoryMaybe 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
-
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?Steve

Hi Steve !
Nothing . I have problem with pfSense installation on X700 and I seek solution.
Pawel

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?Steve
-
Hi Steve !
Yes, first so it was connected via usb. And this was problem…
I want no special configuration: 1 WAN (4/2 Mbps with 5 used public IP) and 2 LAN.
LAN 1: Network in my home and office - because i have office in home. ;-)
LAN 2: Network for my friends and neighbors. Unfortunately I live in block...
LAN 3: DMZ for my 2-3 servers: 1 - my machine (HTTP, mail, ftp, mail, etc.) 2 - machine for my frends/neighbors (mail, ftp, etc.), 3 - DNS (chroot) and ftp for my best friend, hi is computer science specialist. This machine is for him backups.Networks LAN1 and LAN2 are NOT CONNECTED, but are have access to Internet.
LAN 3 - known...Pawel
-
Maybe better to discuss this in a new thread since this is now a general configuration problem not specific to the firebox. This thread is already too long! ;)
It doesn't look like a difficult config though.
Steve
-
Of course. I have a request to the Moderator: Do You move my last 2 entries to a new topic: "Configure 1xWAN, 2xLAN and 1xDMZ of 5 IP addresses" ?
Thank You. :)Steve - if you want help me understand pfSense rules - welcome to the new topic or my e-mail. Thank You for You fast helping. ;D
Pawel

Happy New 2013 Year!
Thank you for your help and kindness. At the beginning of 2013 I wish You all the best and fulfill their dreams. All the best!

After upgrading from 2.0.1-RELEASE to 2.0.2-RELEASE the serial console stopped working again on my Firebox X700. The console shows the boot progress and then stops working after 'Bootup complete'.
In previous 2.0.x versions I used this solution.
After the upgrade to 2.0.2 the file "/usr/local/share/misc/serialbandaid.sh" was still available. The added lines to /etc/rc however, where gone. By simply adding the described lines again and a reboot the serial console works again! -
If you use this solution instead it will survive a firmware update:
http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,7458.msg241783.html#msg241783Also that is 'cleaner' since it doesn't involve editing any files or running scripts.
