      Struggled to get pfSense 2.0.1 full install to work on a Lanner Technologies' FW-7535B (like the "new" Hamakua at Netgate.com, but with a dual Intel Atom D510 Pineview processor), but have it working now.  Only issue is that with the SMP Processor selected from the custom kernel menu during installation, there's no serial console.  Not sure if this requires compiling a custom kernel or not, but it wouldn't boot with the Embedded kernel selected.

        Mentioned this on IRC but I'll mention it again here for the archives. It should just be a matter of going to System > Advanced, then check "Serial Terminal", and Save. That should activate the serial console on the next boot.
