      Hello all!

      I have installed PFSense beta3 embedded onto a 128MB CF disk using phydiskwrite.  I am using a CF->IDE adaptor in an IBM PC.  It boots according to the wiki and stops video output at '/'. I do not have a null modem cable (laplink cable) to connect to another PC.  I have tried booting it with

      set console=vidconsole

      and others.  It still stops on the '/'.  Is there a way to make it boot / default to using the video console and keyboard?

      Thanks in advance!

        No, the embedded version is serial only.  Sounds like you want our ISO version but thats not suitable for CF..

          So I guess I need to get myself a null modem / laplink serial cable?
