1. The pfSense installer wanted to use the whole disk. The only way I
could get it to use only part of the disk was to create a slice for
pfSense and create another slice that ate up all remaining free space.
Then every time I booted, the boot loader (GRUB2, I believe) would show
both slices, even though I don't recall setting the boot bit on the
second slice.
Well, to be fair, pfSense is intended as a router, and it's very rare
for a router to dual-boot. Normally it sits in the corner and does one
sole function which needs a single OS.
I like to take images of my system drives periodically and I have a
bunch of 80 GB drives I use for things like pfSense. If pfSense only
needs a few GB, then that's all I want to image and store.
