Tutorial / Guide for headless installation - Does this exist?
-
I'm taking my first attempt at installing pfsense on a headless system. I'm at a loss of what to do and was hoping there was a guide out there. I've downloaded and flashed the pfSense-memstick-serial-2.1.5-RELEASE-i386-20140825-0744.img file onto a spare thumb drive but
The hardware is as follows:

500GB HDD on USB to SATA adapter -
PfSense only supports X86 architecture currently. That box isn't unfortunately.

You might give ipfire a try if you already own the device.

Its not pfsense.

Pretty sure IPFire is X86 only also. Though I could be out of touch there.
There's probably an OpenWRT port that would run on it though.

No idea about ipfire, but I've searched for arm compatible stuff before so I remembered this.
I'm sure there may be many hardware dependencies to consider, but maybe you will get lucky.

Ha. Looks like I am out of touch. ::)
@http://www.ipfire.org/news/ipfire-2.11-available-on-arm:

I'm often out of touch…
On the off hand chance that it works, I'd love to know how well it works.
Morbid curiosity.
