      Hello,

      I am getting the following error when I boot the 32bit version which I downloaded and flashed to my 4GB CF card.

      ada0: <xmore industrial="" xm-cf-4g0-xic52s(f)="" 081107s4="">s/n 20110127AAAA80001666 detached
      (ada0:ata0:0:0:0): Periph destroyed
      Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ufs/pfSense [ro]…
      mountroot: waiting for device /dev/ufs/pfSense ...
      Mounting from ufs:/dev/ufs/pfSense failed with error 19.

      Loader variables:
      vfs.root.mountfrom=ufs:/dev/ufs/pfSense
      vfs.root.mountfrom.options=ro

      Manual root filesystem specification:
      <fstype>: <device>[options]
      Mount <device>using filesystem <fstype>and with the specified (optional) option list.

      eg. ufs:/dev/da0s1a
      zfs:tank
      cd9660:/dev/acd0 ro
      (which is equivalent to: mount -t cd9660 -o ro /dev/acd0 /)

      ? List valid disk boot devices
      . Yield 1 second (for background tasks)
      <empty line="">Abort manual input
      </empty></fstype></device></device></fstype></xmore>

      Not sure if the image is broken on the downloads website, wonder if someone can offer some help?

        There has been no supported 32-bit version of pfSense for a while. The current version is for 64-bit hardware only (excluding Netgate's own SG-3100 and SG-1000 appliances with their own special version of pfSense). If you have a 32-bit install image, there is no way it is current. Thus it will have known security vulnerabilities that can't be fixed. Where did you find a 32-bit pfSense install image?

        I strongly suggest installing the current 2.4.5 RELEASE version of pfSense, but that means you will need 64-bit hardware.

          That ^.

          What are you installing on? Exactly what image are you using?
