pfSense on WatchGuard XTM 810
-
Hello folks,
firtst of all I'm sorry for my poor english.
I just got a couple of firewall WatchGuard XTM 810 and my target is to install PfSense on it (better on hard disk).
In a previous post Steve wrote that it's pretty easy these days because pfSense will boot completely with em NICs and it's trivial to enable the console on com2 showing a couple of links:

Obviously I read their content but I'm very confused, I don't understood how enable COM2, where is written the /boot/loader.conf.local file?
I'm using a CentOS 8 or Windows 10 clients (double boot) and none of them natively mount the UFS file system, so I can't seek/modify the /boot/loader.conf file and before installing any software I would like be sure to move on the right way.For your knowledge:
I tried following this three base steps:- In a Compact Flash 1 GB I wrote pfSense-CE-memstick-serial-2.5.2-RELEASE-amd64.img
- I connected a 500 GB hard disk in the WatchGuard XTM 810
- I booted the WG and pfSense start but after a bunch of seconds it stops run (I used the original one, is perhaps the compact flash too small?)
Thank so much for your invaluable help.
Best regards.
