      Hello all,

      I want to try an pfsense in an old Nortel Contivity 1010

      I downloaded the embedded version pfSense-1.2-Embedded.img.gz
      Verified MD , was OK
      Unpacked it to pfSense.img

      Tryed to dd it on an 128 MB card.
      dd if=c:\temp\temp\pfSense.img of=\.\h:  bs=1M –size --progress

      Now my questions:

      1. is it normal that dd stops with
        31,440,896
        31+0 records in
        29+2 records out
        Is the whole image written ?
        I tryed this in the contivity and it can't boot. (boot error on console interface)

      2. is the downloaded pfSense.img for an 128 MB card or other format ?

      3. if pfSense.img is for an other format, do I need to resize it to 128 MB ?

      4. if so, how to do it on an WIN XP machine.

      5. Thanks for the answers !

        I dont know about DD but you can just use "physdiskwrite" from http://m0n0.ch/wall to write the compressed image under windows to the CF.

        The downloaded image needs a minimum 128 MB card. It can be more, but the additional space wont be used.

        Take a look at the documentation.
        This guide is for the WRAP but you can use it for you too (just ignore all the WRAP stuff)
