Would you mind submitting this issue and the solution to the FAQ site?
 I know it's been asked before ;)

Smallest drive for PFsense

How much space will PFsense install in? I'd like to install it on a  
CF card on a full size PC (not WRAP) and am curious what size card I  
can/should use (or if it is even a good idea).

Thank you,
jbennett

RE: Smallest drive for PFsense

Your cf media needs at least 128 mb. You can run the embedded image from
that, however you will not have package support then. Packages are only
supported on full installs. Also note that the console output is at
serial console and you need a serial nullmodem cable to assign
interfaces the first time you boot it up for the embedded image.

Re: Smallest drive for PFsense

What if I wanted to use the installer of the liveCD with package  
support? What size would be optimal? The only package I'm likely to  
install would be the squid proxy

Thank you,

Re: Smallest drive for PFsense

just get a hold of an old IDE drive of maybe only 4 gig and use that. theres 
plenty of room for logs and other packages if you decide to play with them. 
If you use the LiveCD to run the system, you will still need a floppy or USB 
drive to hold the configuration file, so might as well install the full 
image on a small HDD.

RE: Smallest drive for PFsense

Mine's a 256 Mb card at home, which is fine.  It will run on a 128 Mb card,
but its just a bit close sometimes.

Given prices these days, get a 256 Mb CF card.   BTW don't bother getting a
fast one... The 66x and 133x don't anything for you, and can cause more
problems.

RE: Smallest drive for PFsense

If you use squid - get a hard drive.  Squid will accelerate the death of the
CF card from 5/10 years to probably less than one.

Re: Smallest drive for PFsense

I've successfully installed on a 4 gb card... only reason I am trying  
this is 2 hard drives in a row wouldn't boot... the drives are known  
good too. I reset the bios, and am about to try on the HD again. (The  
CF card does have a lifetime warranty BTW).

Thank you for the input.

RE: Smallest drive for PFsense

Holger,

"the console output is at serial console and you need a serial nullmodem 
cable to assign interfaces the first time you boot it up for the embedded 
image."

The documentation says this, but I think it is false for pfSense 1.0.1.

I installed embedded pfSense in a 6 NIC box from 
http://linitx.com/product_info.php?cPath=4&products_id=909 with a Kingston 
512 MByte Compact Flash.

I had pfSense console at first time. 

The only trouble I had was choosing the correct image for my box (pfSense-
1.0.1-512-ad2.img.gz from http://shopping.hacom.net/catalog/pub/pfsense/) 
and modify the BIOS in order to boot from Compact Flash.

Best regards,

Josep Pujadas

That is correct for all versions, including 1.0.1.  I recently used the 
embedded image on a similar VIA box to the one you mentioned and that 
was the case.

I have one of those 6 NIC boxes running RC3 still (it "just works", 
haven't had a need to mess with upgrading it), but I don't recall 
offhand for sure if it behaves the same way or not.  It should with the 
official release images, but I'm not sure what Bao may have done with 
those images, he may have disabled the serial console.  I think I may be 
running a full install on a microdrive on that box anyway, I don't 
recall offhand.
