      Hi.

      I want to increase the size of the nano pfsense 2.0RC3, I install freebsd 8.2 i386 just for this,but something is not working good.

      I download the script and follow the instructions:

      But the final file size don't match, I even have errors went I run the script:

      ./mkflash_new 1024 pfSense-2.0-RC3-512mb-i386-20110621-1821-nanobsd.img

      The original file size is 512MB and the result is less than that,is possible?

        The image is compressed so the final size is no indication of the resulting image.

        Why don't you just use a larger NanoBSD image?
