<div dir="ltr">Hello,<div><br></div><div>I've been trying to set up pfSense on this minnow max for a couple days now and haven't had much progress. I noticed on MinnowBoard's Google+ account that others have had success setting up pfSense and was wondering if anyone would be able to help?</div><div><br></div><div>I've downloaded all my AMD64 (64-bit), CD Image Installer (.iso)/USB Memstick Installer (.img) from <a href="https://www.pfsense.org/download/">https://www.pfsense.org/download/</a> and tried various ways to make them into bootable USBs (unetbootin, linux's dd command, etc). Every time I tried making the .img a bootable USB, it becomes unaccessable from any computer and isn't recognized by the bios when I try to boot with it. When I made the .iso a bootable USB, I got no error and it was recognized by the bios. Although, I was unable to boot from the USB until I added a boot option to use the loader.efi, which finally booted pfSense. Unfortunately, I still get an error after the pfSense menu: </div><div><br></div><div>>Mounting from cd9660:/dev/iso9660/PFSENSE failed with error 19.</div><div>></div><div>>Loader variables:</div><div>> vfs.root.mountffrom=cd9660:/dev/iso9660/PFSENSE</div><div>> vfs.root.mountffrom.options=ro<br></div><div>></div><div>>Manual root filesystem specification:</div>> <fstype>:<device> [options] <div>> Mount <device> using filesystem <fstype><br>> </div><div>> eg. ufs:/dev/da0s1a</div><div>> zfs:tank<br>> cd9660:/dev/acd0 ro<br>> (which is equivalent to: mount -t cd9660 -o ro /dev/acd0 /)<br>><br>> ?
