2.4.x installation media for CF card on APU1
-
Hi Folks,
From https://sgpfiles.pfsense.org/mirror/downloads/, what is the correct installation media to use now in 2.4.x for writing directly to a CF card being used in an APU1?Previously I would have used something like pfSense-CE-2.3.4-RELEASE-4g-amd64-nanobsd.img, but the memstick and iso images now all appear to be 'real' installers.
Am I missing something here? -
NanoBSD is gone with 2.4. You will need to use serial memstick installer however I'm not sure how well CF will take the full pfSense installation.
-
Yeah, I think that's part of the problem. With the serial memstick installer is it possible to install onto the same CF card.
ie. write pfSense-CE-memstick-2.4.1-RELEASE-amd64.img onto the card, boot it and then install in-place onto the same card?
The old NanoBSD were all images rather than installers. -
Yes, you can't flash the installer on CF card. You need to boot the installer from USB and then can install it to it. However, I wouldn't not install it to CF as it might kill it over time. Instead, I would look for cheap 8-16GB mSATA SSD's. They're pretty affordable these days, from $10 to $20.
