Mountroot problem on Firebox X750e

kc7gr

Good day,

I'm very new to pfsense, and successfully followed the instructions at https://www.hexhound.com/how-to-flash-pfsense-2-1-to-a-watchguard-firebox-x750e-x550e-ssl-500/ to adjust the BIOS and get the CF cards imaged.

Problem is, when I try to boot, it gets only so far and then bombs out with a mountroot error. Here's the pertinent section of the boot dump.

Could this be due to a setting I need to change? Or perhaps the CF card I've chosen is not optimal for this kind of application? I know Watchguard's hardware can be picky about such things.

Anyone?

Thanks much.</empty></fstype></device></device></fstype>

I'm running into this exact same issue on 2.2.6 Release. Can anyone help please?
