Problem: Embedded version on Jetway barebone system

borgo

Hello

I'm installing pfSense on a Jetway barebone Atom system with a CF card installed (4GB), no hard-disk

I have tried the following steps:

I have written the nanoBsd image to Cf: Result: no data on console. I think there was some problem to complete the boot, and errors arise before serial communication is configured.
So then i have installed from liveCd directly on Cf

So I continue from step 2)

2.a) I have chosen the "Embedded Kernel" option during the installation. Result: boot from CF never complete successfully.
2.b) So then I have repeated the installation from liveCd, choosing the "Normal Kernel". Result: boot is ok.

After reboot I have typed the following commands:

echo "embedded" > /etc/platform
/etc/rc.conf_mount_ro
reboot

Here the result:

#mount

/dev/ad2s1a on / (ufs, local, read-only)
devfs on /dev (devfs, local, multilabel)
/dev/md0 on /tmp (ufs, local)
/dev/md1 on /var (ufs, local)
devfs on /var/dhcpd/dev (devfs, local, multilabel)

#df

Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/ad2s1a 3799198 169390 3325874 5% /
devfs 1 1 0 100% /dev
/dev/md0 39406 66 36188 0% /tmp
/dev/md1 59246 6352 48156 12% /var
devfs 1 1 0 100% /var/dhcpd/dev

My questions are:

Now is /tmp on Ram or on Cf ?
If it's on Cf, how can I mount it on Ram ?
Is /var on Ram or Cf ?
Does I need to move /var on Ram or not ? (to reduce writing cycles on Cf)
Codul you help me to do it please ? Any advices will be gratefully accepted

Thank you in advance for any help

/tmp is on RAM (md0)
/var is on RAM (md1)

Thank you very much Havok
you make me very happy

So my installation is correct and my CF memory is safe: root file system is read-only and /var and /tmp are on ram
