      Hi!

      I've got an M300 , it uses sd-card as main drive cant find any sataports.
      I've tried installing from usb and sd-card.

      I also tried as described here: https://forum.netgate.com/topic/140213/pfsense-on-watchguard-m370/23

      "I managed to get the live CD image installed via VMWare USB passthrough to the mSATA adapter with a GPT partition scheme (should it be MBR instead?), then installed the drive in the M370. "

      ie I plugged in the sd card and used as disk in vmware, istalled from iso and tried booting the watchguard.
      It never boots no matter what I try. Any tips ?

        I split this into a new topic as the M300 is completely different hardware to the M370.

        The Watchguard M200 and M300 are ARM/PowerPC architecture and not x86. As such they cannot run pfSense at this time.
        See: https://www.watchguard.com/help/docs/hardware guides/Firebox_M200_M300_Hardware_Guide.pdf
        And: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QorIQ#T2

        You might be able to get OpenWRT running there if there is some existing platform sufficiently close. Otherwise it would require some porting effort.

          ok, thanks.
          Also have an old xtm500 lying around. Probably easier going for that device then by the sound of it ?

            XTM5 or M500? 😉

            Either will run pfSense fine, yes.
