      Couple of months ago I purchased http://store.netgate.com/SG-2440.aspx to replace my age old m1n1wall. Now I need to install mSata to SG 2440 so which of the following image I should select. Please suggest?

      • netgate-2.2.6-RELEASE-2g-i386-nanobsd.m1n1wall.img.gz
      • netgate-2.2.6-RELEASE-2g-i386-nanobsd.m1n1wall.img.gz.md5
      • netgate-2.2.6-RELEASE-2g-i386-nanobsd.m1n1wall.img.gz.sha256
      • netgate-2.2.6-RELEASE-4g-i386-nanobsd.m1n1wall.img.gz
      • netgate-2.2.6-RELEASE-4g-i386-nanobsd.m1n1wall.img.gz.md5
      • netgate-2.2.6-RELEASE-4g-i386-nanobsd.m1n1wall.img.gz.sha256

      • netgate-memstick-2.2.6-RELEASE-amd64.img.gz
      • netgate-memstick-2.2.6-RELEASE-amd64.img.gz.sha256
      • netgate-memstick-ADI-2.2.6-RELEASE-amd64.img.gz
      • netgate-memstick-ADI-2.2.6-RELEASE-amd64.img.gz.sha256
      • netgate-memstick-serial-2.2.6-RELEASE-amd64.img.gz
      • netgate-memstick-serial-2.2.6-RELEASE-amd64.img.gz.sha256

      Let me know if surprises are there. So that downtime should be minimum?

      Let me know if I have to make changes to bios so that it can boot from msata instead of internal memory?

      If you have a document about installing mSata to SG2440 then let me know.

      Thanks

        Use the ADI version- netgate-memstick-ADI-2.2.6-RELEASE-amd64.img.gz
        Although, why don't you load the most recent 2.3.x version instead of 2.2.6?
        Load a usb stick with the ADI memstick version, connect the serial console, stick in the memstick and follow the prompts. When done, restore the old config.

          Thanks DotDash,

          But what about the bios settings. Is there any specific Bios Settings I need to do before restarting the device?

            If you bought the SG version, then it's already installed, no need to install anything. See the quick start guide. You don't want or need to down-rev it.
