      Hey everyone,

      i´m new to pfsense so maybe the answer to my question is pretty simple.
      Im trying to set up a pfsense firewall using an older workstation with an CompactFlash Card (CF to IDE Adapter)

      After i tried out several versions the only one that worked properly was:
      pfSense-2.1-RELEASE-2g-amd64-nanobsd_vga-20130911-1817.img

      Before i tried that one i used the following:
      pfSense-2.1-RELEASE-2g-amd64-nanobsd-20130911-1817.img

      wich didn´t boot at all.

      Now that i´m using the "VGA" version, pfsense boots fine..

      BUT

      before it starts up it shows a boot selection menu:
      f1 pfsense
      f2 pfsense
      f6 PXE

      is the "…VGA" Version a dualboot version?

        NanoBSD has two OS slices. When you upgrade to a newer release the slice you aren't using will be upgraded and then you'll reboot into that one.  There is a shared config between them.
