Embedded confusion
-
I recently dd'd the nanobsd-vga image to a flash drive following the embedded documentation. My goal is to have pfSense installed on my flashdrive, in order to substitute for the fact that I have no HD. So the I want the USB to serve in place of the HD. Despite reading the documentation, I guess I'm a little confused still.
My questions is this; Is booting from USB and then configuring the system all I need to do? Also, what happens if I shutdown temporarily, will I need to boot from USB and reconfigure? Thanks.

Yes. However you may need to add the kerncam_delay to the boot loader options depending on your USB hardware. You may also need to point the system to the correct mount point for root, it expects to find it on an IDE interface which it won't be for you.
Also, what happens if I shutdown temporarily, will I need to boot from USB and reconfigure? Thanks.
No. The configuration is stored on the NanoBSD boot media whatever that may be.
