    Hi all,

    I'am a new user ( upgraded from Monowall ). As far of today I never succeeded to store the
    configuration data onto a floppy. ( No HDD in the PC ).

    • Even if I force ( via option 98 ) the configuration to be stored on the floppy ( FD0 ),
        there is nothing written on that floppy. Nevertheless, the system confirms the 'move'.

    • If I boot from a CDROM, the config.xml that I putted manually onto a floppy seems to be never
        red.

    • Same issue if 'monowall' floppy is used ( should be recognised ? ).

    I tried this on various PC's, using 0.94.10.

    If somebody has an idea of what is going wrong …

    Thanks, Hpe.

      Its a code error. (As in the developers made a slight "boo boo" in the code)
      (That's what they tell me when I told them about this issue)

      Should be fixed in the next update.

        yep, typo: "Warning: file_get_contents(/cf/cinf/config.xml): failed to open stream: "

        "i" != "o"  :D

          Yes ! Of course ! Will try to replace /cinf using /conf in the iso.
          Thanks :-)

            I just searched the entire tree and cannot find any occurances of "cinf".  You using a serial console?

              I have the same problem, I cannot find any "cinf" entry. Maybe 'Hoba' or 'Aussie_bear' knows more about it ?
              I also never get '  Warning: file_get_contents(/cf/cinf/config.xml): failed to open stream … '.
              but FD0 remains void.
              Will check further, and keep you informed if I find something. Maybe a mount problem ... ?

                I've attached a keyboard and monitor to the PC I'm using as the pfSense box.

                The full error message is this…

                **Processing: moving…removing old...linking...done.
                You're configuration has been moved to fd0

                      Was using 0.94.10…Well, until 5 minutes ago...I'm using 0.94.12 right now.

                      Trying it now…CD-ROM version.

                      No option to save to removable media anymore?
                      (Option 98 is now gone)  ???

                        Works here.  I have a ms dos formatted USB drive in.  Option 98 comes right up.

                          I can confirm the issue to be solved (CDROM using FD0 - 0.94.12 ).
                          Option 98 also appears in due time.

                          Thanks,

                            LOL, there's the option!
                            (The floppy controller on this old setup died. I just tried PfSense on another box)
