Problems installing latest pfsense

You mean in the bios? If you're using a cf-ide adapter it should appear as a standard hard drive.

Yes in bios and its not showing up in bios as an hard drive.

I have read that some CF cards cannot operate in 'ide mode' though I've yet to find one myself.

Can't find any details on a neoware CA17:

Can you give some details on the hardware?

Here is the images:

Not quite sure what we're looking at there.
So you're booting from a USB stick, yes? What image exactly is on the stick? Is that as far as it boots?

right now I am booting off of the flash drive but I want DOM be doing this since flash drive can only do so many reads and writes before it quits.

stephenw10

So it boots fine from USB but you've not written the DOM yet?
Both are flash devices subject to limited writes.

that is correct it boots fine from usb but I have not gotten the DOM write to pfsense since I cant figure out how to do that since there is no option for 99 in this.

Use the method I just posted to copy the image to the DOM: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=82540.msg452130#msg452130

The problem appears to be persistent…

It appears the image you have on the USB stick is one of the the Nano images, yes? There is no option to install from there, it's not intended to be install media. Will it boot from the memstick image on a USB stick? That will give you the option to install the 'full' version of pfSense.
I would still try to run Nano from a DOM though. Others have run full with no issues.
