      Hy.

      i am trying to install pfsense full to a ide harddisk for an Alix 2d13 board.

      My procedure:

      1. install via live CD on a PC pfsense 2.0
      2. install the embedded kernel
      3. restart via live CD
      4. insert 'hw.ata.ata_dma="0" ' in /boot/loader.conf
      5. edit /etc/fstab => change da0 to ad0
      6. plug the IDE drive into the alix board
      7. first start up works, but after a shutdown, the alix board wouldnt boot anymore:
      
      F1   FreeBSD
      
      Boot:   F1
      Not ufs
      Not ufs
      No /boot/loader
      
      FreeBSD/i386 boot
      Default: 0:ad(0,a)/boot/kernel/kernel
      boot:

      boot0cfg -o packet -B -m 0xf da0

      chflags schg /mnt/boot/kernel
      

      and i tried pfsense 1.2.3 also, but still the same problem… :(

        Hey!

        What partitions do you have on your hdd?
        Or do you have a running system in the meanwhile?
