            If none of those work then it can't load the root fs of the "cd" and it can't continue, and you're back to what I told you before about it not working and you'll need either a separate USB stick.

            If you're lucky then perhaps you can get grub to load the memstick disk image directly, though I'm not sure if it can do that.

              maybe I'm wrong
              then correct me
              if the grub is called an ISO file
              he will emulate my da0 as a cd
              at boot time when he is recognizing my hardware
              he found my flash drive and not been able to ride because it is in use?
              If so I unzip the iso file to a folder in my flash drive will do what I can call the grub boot?

                I really have no idea what grub is doing, what it wants or what it's capable of in that regard.

                Perhaps someone who is more familiar with grub can offer some input there.

                  Thank you Jimp
                  Yesterday've sent an email to support them even more now nothing
                  perhaps you or someone can help me when I use this program
                  http://www.pendrivelinux.com/boot-multiple-iso-from-usb-multiboot-usb/

                  I'm trying to boot the ISO drawing on the stick

                  Some examples

                  title Ubuntu 10.04.1 (GNOME Desktop x86)
                  find –set-root /ubuntu-10.04.1-desktop-i386.iso
                  map /ubuntu-10.04.1-desktop-i386.iso (0xff)
                  map --hook
                  root (0xff)
                  kernel /casper/vmlinuz file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper persistent iso-scan/filename=/ubuntu-10.04.1-desktop-i386.iso splash
                  initrd /casper/initrd.lz

                  title BackTrack 4 Final (Penetration Testing)
                  find --set-root /bt-boot/vmlinuz
                  kernel /bt-boot/vmlinuz BOOT=casper boot=casper persistent rw splash
                  initrd /bt-boot/initrd.gz
                  boot

                  How could properly call the boot pfsense?

                    There are no examples of booting any BSD distro using pendrivelinux anywhere on their site (that I could find).

                    The script is designed for booting a linux kernel and pfSense isn't linux.

                      You're right!
                      but I saw people trying it and telling people that and
                      possible to do this work.
                      The boot is fine, but I think in Escape to
                      loader prompt can manually enter any command
                      To successfully continue the boot
                      maybe:

                      vfs.root.mountfrom = cd9660: / dev/da0s1a
                      and since he runs through a ISO that the
                      pendrive

                      Something is missing

                        Hello everyone

                        I returned to report that I had a small evolution in my problem but is not complete
                        The solution would be a dirty

                        at the time of mountroot> I apply the command msdosfs: ​​da0s1 to automate or do I insert the file loarder.conf

                        set vfs.root.mountfrom=msdosfs:da0s1
                        set vfs.root.mountfrom.options=rw

                        An important detail and make the iso image extracted at the root of the pendrive

                        This will load normally but still a problem occurs later on

                        Trying to mount root from msdosfs:ad0s1a

                        ___

                        ___/ f \

                        / p ___/ Sense

                        _/ 
                            _
                        /

                        Welcome to pfSense 2.0 RC1  …
                        Mounting filesystems... done.
                        Creating symlinks......done.
                        Launching the init system...

                        At this point it freezes completely stopped what can be done?
