I never had any problems installing pfSense via USB-CD-rom too. I have tested it with various types of hardware. Thank you for this information.

When we have a version based on FreeBSD 7.0?

Best regards!

I have a couple USB CD-ROMs that have never worked on any hardware I’ve tried, including several mini-ITX boards.

It’s BIOS-specific I believe, FreeBSD’s BTX previously could not access real mode devices, which included virtually all USB CD-ROMs.

It has an option on the BIOS boot menu “USB CD-ROM”
I think sometimes this could be more a motherboard problem then software.
