      So I just downloaded this image and wrote it to a spare USB thumbdrive I had laying around and booted this on my RCC-VE and ran into this:

        I used the content of the /boot/loader.conf of https://snapshots.pfsense.org/FreeBSD_releng/10.1/amd64/pfSense_RELENG_2_2/livecd_installer/pfSense-memstick-ADI-2.2.2-DEVELOPMENT-amd64-20150401-1519.img.gz

        to change the content on a USB-stick I created with http://files.nl.pfsense.org/mirror/downloads/old/pfSense-memstick-serial-2.1.5-RELEASE-amd64.img.gz

        I was able to install the 2.1.5 on its mSata-drive.

        The installed system then needs to get patched with the same /boot/loader.conf.  I used the pfsense on the USB-stick to do this.

        I loaded the config.xml of my production machine and now it's running and replaced the old trash-PC I was using before.

        I also tried the 2.2.2 yesterday evening, but it couldn't replace the old machine with that running config.
        The old machine stops working when I upgrade it to 2.2.2 as well, so I think there's something wrong with that config.

        I want to investigate the reasons for this another time and I'm happy I can now throw that old PC in the trash.

        I have about 80 LANS and 3 WANs
        Pfsense is running a Zabbix-agent and that agent is pinging many devices that are on these LANs (they are all different families living on a peninsula).
        The migration took 10 seconds…..  ;-)

          @No0Vad:

          How do you edit the file?

          I had some trouble getting it to mount read-write in Ubuntu. Apparently the read-write UFS driver for Linux is still a bit unstable so the Ubuntu kernel has the read-only driver.

          I downloaded the FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE virtual machine image (.vmdk) and created a new VirtualBox VM with that image as the hard drive. Boot it up, attach the USB drive, get the device name from dmesg, mount the slice (when I get home tonight I can work out the exact command for you), and edit the file(s) as needed.

          Thank you! I used FreeBSD and have managed to add the line to /boot/loader.conf.

          However, I'm stuck again.

          this time use the live cd instead of the installer and mount the partition you just installed pfsense to (mine was ada0s1a). Make the same changes to the files like you did on the memory stick this time add the comconsole_port line to [pfsensemountpoint]/boot/loader.conf.local so that it should survive upgrades etc, reboot and unplug the memory stick before it resets and you should be booting up into an installed pfsense with working serial console, set your interfaces like normal and enjoy!

          If I choose Live CD, the setup continues and finally I can access it through the browser. But how do "stop" that so I mount my device? And add the line again?

            So I just downloaded this image and wrote it to a spare USB thumbdrive I had laying around and booted this on my RCC-VE and ran into this:

            
            (da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): got CAM status 0x50
            (da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): fatal error, failed to attach to device
            
            

            Will try this with a different USB thumbdrive just to make sure I dont have a bum drive(its sorta old), but it does seem like the bootseq destroys the USB device I'm booting off of.

            Also, in this 2.2.2 image the pfsense boot menu is missing options I'm used to seeing.

            Based on this error message, I'd suggest the same: try a different USB stick.

            What options you are not seeing?

              I think I've managed to move forward a tiny bit on the LiveCD part, however. When trying to mount i get a Operation not permitted error.

              [2.2.1-RELEASE][root@pfSense.localdomain]/: /sbin/mount /dev/ada0s1a /mnt
              mount: /dev/ada0s1a: R/W mount of / denied. Filesystem is not clean - run fsck.: Operation not permitted

                Are you installing to a SATA device or to the internal 4GB flash memory (eMMC)?

                  A sata device.

                  I finally got it to work by running.

                    As it turns out, it was a bum usb stick. A new one yielded positive results. As for what options I was missing in the boot menu, it looks like in 2.2.2 theyve removed the "Boot from USB media" option probably because I think it looks like theyve just put in the assumptions for that into the default options now. You can see the 2.2.2-DEV menu in my original post. IIt's not a big deal.

                    One other thing I did run into is, when doing the custom install from a usb memstick image after the install the fstab will be wrong and you'll have to swap da1 with da0

                        Gonzo I did mention this thread to pfsense help, but i'll send a more specific message about it since current docs assume old pfsense boot menu options.

                        Also, one semi-related question. Is there a way to know what parts of the XML config import will overwrite the boot options? In attempting to migrate from my old ALIX2D13 system to the RCC-VE I attempted to be clever(read:lazy) and selectively import parts of my old config into the new 2.2.2-DEV system. First time I did this I just dumped the whole file in, reassigned the interfaces, rebooted….and no working pfsense. So I wiped, reinstalled, and then did a selective import and watched the reboot via the console and after the initial boot the console output stops like the serial port mapping had been reverted.

                        So now I'm on my 3rd wipe, not bothering to import anything and recreating all the rules by hand. Is there a reason why the boot.conf is getting overwritten even on a selective config import or did I forget something about how the config import works here?

                          I am currently running the 2.1.5 in production after doing a live install and replacing the config of the previous machine.
                          The only thing I did was changing /boot/loader.conf on the USB-stick I used to install it on SATA and then changing that same file again on the SATA.

                          I'm not having the problems the others are having…

                          Is there really more to it or shouldn't I worry now everything is working?

                            Hi,

                            @frater

                            I am currently running the 2.1.5 in production after doing a live install and replacing
                            the config of the previous machine.

                            On what did you install? Soldered on board nand, SSD, HDD, or mSATA?
                            Did you wipe out the pre installed Linux OS from the nand storage?

                            The only thing I did was changing /boot/loader.conf on the USB-stick I
                            used to install it on SATA and then changing that same file again on the SATA.

                            What kind of USB stick did you using?

                            I'm not having the problems the others are having…

                            Be happy about.

                            Is there really more to it or shouldn't I worry now everything is working?

                            • upgrading to 2.2.1 perhaps?
                            • activating TRIM support for mSATA or SATA SSD if in usage?
                            • setting up another ether dump buffer for the LAN Ports if this is needed?

                              Activation of TRIM support is semiautomatic now, IIRC.

                                  To the NetGate pfSense team I believe I found a small typo.

                                  On the SG-2440 QuickStart guide
                                  Under "Initial Configuration" it reads…
                                  Once the system is booted, the attached computer should receive a 192.1.68.1 IP address from the DHCP server that is active on the pfSense appliance.

                                  I believe that should be a 192.168.1.x address.

                                  Thanks for all you guys/gals do!

                                      With pfSense-memstick-ADI-2.2.2-DEVELOPMENT-amd64-20150401-1519.img.gz installed, do I use this as my update URL?

                                      If so, will the updates break anything for this device?

                                        So I just downloaded this image and wrote it to a spare USB thumbdrive I had laying around and booted this on my RCC-VE and ran into this:

                                        
                                        (da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): got CAM status 0x50
                                        (da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): fatal error, failed to attach to device
                                        
                                        

                                        Will try this with a different USB thumbdrive just to make sure I dont have a bum drive(its sorta old), but it does seem like the bootseq destroys the USB device I'm booting off of.

                                        Also, in this 2.2.2 image the pfsense boot menu is missing options I'm used to seeing.

                                        Based on this error message, I'd suggest the same: try a different USB stick.

                                        What options you are not seeing?

                                        As it turns out, it was a bum usb stick. A new one yielded positive results. As for what options I was missing in the boot menu, it looks like in 2.2.2 theyve removed the "Boot from USB media" option probably because I think it looks like theyve just put in the assumptions for that into the default options now. You can see the 2.2.2-DEV menu in my original post. IIt's not a big deal.

                                        One other thing I did run into is, when doing the custom install from a usb memstick image after the install the fstab will be wrong and you'll have to swap da1 with da0

                                        It's now fixed on latest snapshots. Thanks!

                                          Thought I'd crosspost this for anyone not monitoring some of the other threads about this hardware.

                                          Anybody with a new RCC-VE or SG system should probably enable PowerD per this thread if they haven't already!

                                            @BlueKobold:

                                            On what did you install? Soldered on board nand, SSD, HDD, or mSATA?
                                            Did you wipe out the pre installed Linux OS from the nand storage?

                                            I installed it on a 35 GB mSata-device.
                                            No, I left the CentOS on the NAND-storage. I will probably have no use for it, but you'll never know.
                                            I thought I ordered a dedicated Pfsense-box, but due to some misunderstandings I ended up with this device.

                                            @BlueKobold:

                                            What kind of USB stick did you using?

                                            I used a Kingston USB-stick which I loaded with the live installer for 2.1.5
                                            I changed the /boot/loader.conf using my old pfsense box so I could run the installer.
                                            After it was on the SATA I needed to do that again (this time using the USB-stick to boot FreeBSD) on the SATA.
                                            I merely needed to download the latest config.xml from the web (I have an hourly back-up of my pfsense-box) and swap the UTP-cables.

                                            @BlueKobold:

                                            Is there really more to it or shouldn't I worry now everything is working?

                                            • upgrading to 2.2.1 perhaps?

                                            On my previous machine and on a test-run the 2.2.1 failed to run properly with the config I have in production.
                                            I did some changes to the config to make use of the 2 extra Ethernet-ports and discovered an orphaned gateway that belonged to an interface that has been deleted several months ago.
                                            Maybe it was the reason the 2.2.1 failed to run.

                                            @BlueKobold:

                                            • activating TRIM support for mSATA or SATA SSD if in usage?

                                            Gonzopancho wrote that that isn't needed anymore.
                                            @BlueKobold:

                                            • setting up another ether dump buffer for the LAN Ports if this is needed?

                                            Could you elaborate on that?
                                            I have no idea what you mean by that.

                                            I do have some problems with the webconfigurator not being available sometimes and ntopng is also a bit flaky.
                                            I'm afraid the CPU is not up to it….
