      I'm trying to get pfSense working on an old Dell Inspiron 640m laptop but it hangs during the install. (newest i386 build from usb stick)

      Sorry for the crappy pic but here's where it stops: (no diff in verbose mode)

      Any ideas?

        Nevermind I fixed it. Seems pfSense doesn't like the wireless card in this laptop. Took it it out and all is fine now.

          Another thing you may want to do at some point is go through the BIOS and disable everything that is not needed.
