Default PFsense on RSA appliance
So i scored an old RSA secure ID appliance from work today. Took a look and it turns out it's basically a windows computer. So i managed to load pfsense on it and it works great. PFsense loaded with no hiccups and sees all 4 nics :). Just thought i would share this. Now i just need to get the 2 line lcd module to work :)

Can you provide more details on the hardware? I run 3 pfsense installations with atom based 1U pizza boxes... 3 NICs each.

it is running the following hardware.

Intel celeron (around 2ghz)
1GB Ram
20GB HDD
2x 10/100 nic
2x 10/100/1000 nic

custom board made by celebrix (i think) I am not going to be using it as it really sucks back the juice (100W on idle). Instead i will be using my wrt54gl w/ tomato

yeah, I'm using the wrt54gl w/ tomato at home as well, but only because my netscreen-25 doesn't support MLPPP.

it's probably a supermicro x7 series board as those have dual intel nics on board then you would only need one more pci-e nic. Plus you can get them with ipmi.
