      Lets see… I have a full hdd installation. Changed /etc/platform from pfSense to embedded mode. As you see i have issue asking the right question here :)

      I have this in my log.

      php: /exec.php: The command '/sbin/mount -u -r -f -o sync,noatime /cf' returned exit code '1', the output was 'mount: not currently mounted /cf'
      

      When execute command: mount in webgui i get this;

      $ mount
      /dev/ad0s1a on / (ufs, local, noatime, synchronous)
      devfs on /dev (devfs, local)
      /dev/md0 on /tmp (ufs, local)
      /dev/md1 on /var (ufs, local)
      devfs on /var/dhcpd/dev (devfs, local)
      

      Whats wrong? can it be fixed? with a command or a file edit?

        I suspect you should install the nano bsd kit if you want "embedded" install.

        I suspect /etc/platform should be considered "read-only" to tell anyone who cares what platform the code is running on.

          That used to be a quick way to get that behavior in old versions (1.2.2 and before), but it is no longer supported.

          If you just want serial console, then a full install with the embedded kernel is sufficient. If you really want the HDD to go read only, then you probably should image it with a NanoBSD image and run it that way.
