          If it's x86 hardware you can try. However most Fortigate stuff uses custom ASICs to get the throughput and those can never be supported in pfSense.

          Edit: Doesn't look like it is x86 from some brief googling

              Thanks for all

              I found a link on YouTube:

              I will try booting from the Linux kernel.
              If this is done perfectly, we will discuss the rest of the hardware.
              It will be a fun experience
