pfsense. All versions

[mir]

Hi all,

With current release of proxmox I have been able to boot using any CPU emulation and host running pfSense x86_64 on my Opteron nodes. It seems the fix on this old thread on pfSense forum is still valid: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=30593.0

To implement the fix simply add this to /boot/loader.conf.local:
hw.mca.enabled=0

Either by escaping to boot prompt and run:
1) set hw.mca.enabled=0
2) boot
Or start with CPU emulation qemu64

And after successful boot: echo "hw.mca.enabled=0" >> /boot/loader.conf.local

Poweroff and change to your desired CPU model and boot.

good to know, thanks. Why not adding a wiki page for this (if there isn't one for pfsense already)?
