      your issues with the micro drive seem very similar to my issues with a USB HD.  Is there any other changes you had to make apart from the bootloader?

          YEAH i get it to work:

          Mini HowTo which works on the WRAP System with Microdrive and Package Mode:

          1.) Install the Live-CD 1.0.1 on the Microdrive ! Use the Format Tool and Partion Mode.
          2.) DO NOT USE THE Bootloader on the Microdrive !
          3.) After Installation reboot…
          4.) Get the Image from the Embedded Mode on an USB Stick or other medium
          5.) Boot the live cd again, use the Shell number 8 or something..
          6.) Mount the Microdrive (/dev/ad4s1a) in my Examble to /tmp/ata
          7.) Mount the Image :
          gunzip pfSense-Embedded.img.gz
          mdconfig -a -t vnode -f pfSense-Embedded.img
          mkdir /tmp/mnt/embedded
          mount /dev/md8a /tmp/mnt/embedded
          8.) Delete the old Boot on the microdrive (/tmp/ata/boot)
          If you can't delete all move the /tmp/ata/boot to boot.old..
          9.)Copy the hole Boot to the microdrive (cp -R /tmp/mnt/embedded/boot to /tmp/ata/)
          10.) copy the files from etc to the microdrive
          cp /tmp/mnt/embedded/etc/ttys /tmp/ata/etc/ttys
          look in the /tmp/ata/etc/platfrom file (It must containt the word pfSense
          11.)last change the config.xml in /tmp/ata/cf/conf/config.xml
          vi /tmp/ata/cf/conf/config.xml
          search for sis0 change it to the IP you want to use at the beginning.
          <interfaces><lan><if>sis0</if>
          <ipaddr>10.106.0.1</ipaddr>
          <subnet>24</subnet>
          12.) type sync
          13) type sync
          shutdown -h now
          Remove microdrive but into Wrap boot and now you can configure the other thinks over web gui (http://10.106.0.1) in my Example ....

          HAVE FUN...

          Mfg
