fx5624 pfsense install - FIXED

[Nick Upson]

Hi everyone,

I have finally got 1.2.3 installed onto this box, things that seems to help
fix it (I cannot go back and exhaustively test, this needs to go into
production asap)

- disable packet mode during the install

- format the new hard disk on a windows machine first

- that got me to a mountroot> prompt which I hadn't seen before, I then used
information from http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=22824.0;wap2
which allowed me to enter "ufs:ad1s1a" (Note slight change) and
"Once it is running edit (either through the UI or through the shell)
/boot/loader.conf and add the line:
vfs.root.mountfrom="ufs:ad1s1a""

in addition, when setting up a second one as a spare, I found it necessary
to override the default disk partition, making / 7G and /usr the balance of
the disk
