      Good day, i am trying pfsense 2.0 ( pfSense-2.0-BETA1-20100520-0344 )

      I installed it to a compact flash-card through vmware workstation, and chose uniprocessor-kernel to get vga-output from my firewall. ( Fabiatech fx5620 )

      It seems to start off ok and gives me a boot-menu. But after a while I get asked to input a partition, just as I did with pfsense 1.2.2. The problem is that without any warning pfsense reboot after a set amount of time.

      If I type in the right partition it continues booting but reboots after a very short time. Around 20  seconds maybe.

      Do anyone know what may be wrong?

        If it reboots itself without any errors on the console or warning at all, it's likely hardware related in some way.
