Pfsense dualboot

[unex]

Hey everyone,

i´m new to pfsense so maybe the answer to my question is pretty simple.
Im trying to set up a pfsense firewall using an older workstation with an CompactFlash Card (CF to IDE Adapter)

After i tried out several versions the only one that worked properly was:
pfSense-2.1-RELEASE-2g-amd64-nanobsd_vga-20130911-1817.img

Before i tried that one i used the following:
pfSense-2.1-RELEASE-2g-amd64-nanobsd-20130911-1817.img

wich didn´t boot at all.

Now that i´m using the "VGA" version, pfsense boots fine..

BUT

before it starts up it shows a boot selection menu:
f1 pfsense
f2 pfsense
f6 PXE

is the "…VGA" Version a dualboot version?

NanoBSD has two OS slices. When you upgrade to a newer release the slice you aren't using will be upgraded and then you'll reboot into that one.  There is a shared config between them.
