Pfsense on dell gx260… help with booting
-
i can install and run pfsense fine, its getting it to boot that is the problem.
the computer is a dell gx260 w/256mb of ram and 2ghz pentium 4.
i have pfsense installed on to a 1gb usb flash drive, the only way i can get it to boot is by manually entering the boot menu and booting from the "utility partition".
same if its a reboot.
the bios is set to boot from the usb device first; even from the boot menu if i select the usb device, it doesn't find a bootable device.
this gets old when everytime i need to reboot the system, i need to connect a monitor and keybaord >:(
-
did you try to setup with and without bootblocks already? also using the grub bootloader is an option to test out.
-
yup, tried that.. no good :(
i have three options when asked about the boot "stuff"
install bootblocks
packet mode
use grubwhat do those three options do and mean?

Make sure install boot blocks is checked. Check install grub.
