      Have you considered using a full install on a better SD card?  On a full install you can use /boot/loader.conf.local and that will persist past upgrades.  You'll need to wait another week or two for this one, but this uses MLC flash, a big step up in reliability from most SD cards which are TLC.

      I can break anything.

        Have you considered buying your APU from the pfSense store?

        Then it "just works".

        IJS…

          I thought you want to stop the adverts altogether. Instead, you are spamming? Is the ship already sinking? Regardless, no, I have not considered that, neither have others, not until you get less retarded shipping company.

            I personally prefer nevertheless the NanoBSD install.. I've got a bad feeling when it goes to writes on SD / CF Cards.. Also there are mostly no exact data how much can be written on the cards and so on..

              If you're using the Image on SD Card you should have the same problem. "Just works" means for me, that you have not the same buildup. Perphaps I've got a good reason for that build up?
              And no, I use PCEngines not only for PFSense. And I'm buying stuff anytime in the same country as I live, when there is no good reason against it. Buying PCEngines hardware elsewhere is no possibility

                REMEMBER & BE AWARE - AT THE MOMENT YOU NEED THE SERIAL CONSOLE AT EVERY UPDATE

                Use loader.conf.local, not loader.conf.

                loader.conf.local is copied over during an upgrade.

                  We are pfSense.  We have a custom version (because we can do that).

                    Hi gonzopancho,

                    When you say we "are" pfsense and you have a special built to fully support the APU1C do you mean that you could have also a built supporting an APU1C including a 3G or 4G modem (miniPCIe slot) like the Sierra MC8801 or MC7304, LEDs working fine, Thermal sensors, reset button and so on ?

                    Thanks

                    Nicolas

                      Hello,

                      I don't understand and I am becoming crazy because on my side, following this same procedure, it simply doesn't work.

                      I wrote the image pfSense-2.1.2-RELEASE-4g-amd64-nanobsd-20140410-0542.img to the SD card, booted the APU1c, interrupted the boot and typed the command set kern.cam.boot.delay=10000, but root mounting still fails :

                        You need to set

                        
                        kern.cam.boot_delay=10000
                        
                        

                        NOT
                        kern.cam.boot.delay=10000

                              Great, thanks.

                              And here above :

                              echo kern.cam.boot_delay=10000 >> /boot/loader.conf

                              Save/Load from path: /boot/loader.conf

                              .local is missing

                                I haven't bothered testing 3G/4G modems in the miniPCIe sockets.

                                But otherwise, yes.

                                    I couldn't get the embedded version (pfSense-2.2.5-RELEASE-4g-amd64-nanobsd.img.gz) on a 4GB SD card to work on an apu1d either.

                                    None of the variable tweaks suggested in various places, such as

                                    set kern.cam.boot_delay=10000
                                    set hw.ata.atapi_dma="1"
                                    set hw.ata.ata_dma="1"
                                    set hw.ata.wc="1"
                                    
                                    

                                    had any effect.
                                    I tried writing the card on an SD-USB adaptor (as /dev/sdX) and also a laptop with a native SD interface, where it showed up as /dev/mmcblk0. No difference.

                                    In the end I wrote a live image on an USB stick and used that to boot, then install onto the same SD card. This went fine, and with /var and /tmp in RAM, writes to the SD card should be minimal, so not using the embedded version shouldn't be a problem, I assume.

                                      Well, clearly the image got either miswritten, or your SD is too small for 4GB to fit on it. Try with 2GB one instead.
