Boot stops at Loading /boot/defaults/loader.conf

[i4ko]

Hi,

I had m0n0wall successfully running on the same box on CF-IDE adapter. However I need dual WAN so I transfered the pfSense embedded image to the CF and at first it did not want to boot at all. Just a "/" was displayed on the screen. I have enabled the serial port after that and now booting goes to "Loading /boot/defaults/loader.conf" then "animates" |-/ and leaves me on "/" with apparently hanged machine.

Am I missing something or the machine is really frozen. (ctrl-alt-del is not working).

I will appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks.

That's where it switches to serial console.

Thank you. That is one of the things I supposed, but really pfSense is running on the only machine having serial ports so I installed from CD. Apparently I made full Uniprocesor install

Which is it - did you install embedded to a CF card, or do a full install from a CD?

I observer what is posted in the first post with the embeded CF image.

Afterthat I gave up and installed from CD. It is working now. I hade a differenet issue now, and I have opened a topic in the hardware section.
