Looking for ISO image of development snapshot
-
Is it available? I'm looking at the directory for development snapshots and only seeing memstick versions.

Starting with pfSense version 2.4.4 we will be offering hybrid installer images. That means pfSense memstick installer can also be used as a CD/DVD image.

I'm installing on a hyper-v. Do I mount the memstick image as an iso?

I'm trying to create a VM that will boot from this image. Hyper-v manager will only accept a file with an iso extension. What's the procedure to use the img file as a CD/DVD image?

"iso extension"
That's just what the file is called, you can rename it to .iso if it's not already that and use it as a standard CD/DVD image file.
The "hybrid" part just means that the image file is directly usable as a CD/DVD image or as a memory stick image without any conversions. Many Linux distros have offerred such images for a long time, it's a high time FreeBSD/pfSense starts doing so also.

Extract the image, change the file extension to iso and give it a try. Be a bit creative.

The file I downloaded has a .img extension, which is not accepted by the windows server hyper-v manager. I renamed the extension to .iso and it booted properly. Kind of a PITA, but oh well. I guess this is "progress".

Problem is, its not with the freebsd/pfsense side of things. an IMG file is recognized by just about all other vm system except hyperV apparently. I hated it when they were demoing and starting core development back when it was still virtual pc and they used it for the xp backporting on windows 7. I have had zero issues with any bin, img, or iso file on VMware vCenter/workstation.
