      Hello Guys,

      We have a tftp to bootstrap all our linux distributions and I'm looking to do the same for pfsense.

      I tryied the following

      LABEL pfsense233
MENU LABEL ^pfSense 2.3.3 amd64
KERNEL memdisk
INITRD install/pfsense/2/3/3/amd64/install.iso
APPEND iso

      with the iso coming from the pfSense website.

      But no success.

      Any clue / pointers ?

      Cheersn

        Hasn't worked with FreeBSD since v9. Do not waste your time.

          Actually you can PXEboot mfsbsd. Once booted, you can fetch pfSense over the network and try and install it.
