Missing instructions for embedded / nanobsd img ?
-
I've always used the regular install version to HDD
but for 2.0 I wanted to use one of the many nanobsd images to run straight off a Flash Drive
from Ubuntu I used DD to raw copy several versions of the .img to the flash drive, however when i try to boot from any of them the image just hangs at boot
which suggest it might be missing a boot flag (not set to active) ?
if I check with gparted the flash drive looks correct, 2 partition for pfsense, and 1 data partition.
just for reference, the Flash media is bootable, if i flash it with the CD image or the USB image; but that's not my goal, as i do not want pfsense to run from RAM, but rather from the embedded flash disk

never mind… found the answer
it's normal
the embedded has no video output / keyboard input
only COM serial
