        In theory the following should work (though I have no experience with that board):
        write the pfSense embedded (or nanoBSD) image to a compact flash of at least 1GB on another PC and then put the compact flash card in the CF slot on the motherboard and then boot.

        http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Installing_pfSense provides more details.
