        First off, as has been said many times before, pfSense is based on FreeBSD, not Linux.

        What version of pfSense are you trying to install? What hardware are you installing onto? Is the only problem that your drive isn't ad0? If not exactly what is the problem?

              Other than it not showing as ad0 (which is simply cosmetic) is there any problem? A picture of any error message may help.
