OPNSense on compact flash

[albegior]

Hello, someone can explain how to build one working OPNSense compact flash?

[jstrebel]

Instal the CF Flash.
Try to boot the downloaded image either from a external USB or CD.
Then do a normal installation via the instal menu to the CF.
This works I have done it the same way.

Not for me...
I tryed but the install fails on 4 gb compact flash...

[jstrebel]

Can you give some details. Error messages? etc

An error description would be helpful. Ad found out that SD/CF cards may take a long time depending on where they are flashed due to FreeBSD mounting them synchronous as opposed to asynchronous. There's a lot of new things coming to the bsdinstaller, but it'll be two more weeks as this takes quite a bit of work to get right the first time. :)
