====== Installation on a CF-card ======

This guide installs EFW 3.0 on a CF-card for [[http://www.pcengines.ch|ALIX]] or [[http://www.pcengines.ch|APU2]] boxes.

Download files and apps:
  * Download [[http://www.endian.com|Endian Firewall]] and save the iso file to endian3.iso
  * Download [[http://www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/details.aspx?id=3702|VirtualPC]] and install it on your system
  * Download [[http://www.winimage.com/download.htm|WinImage]] and install it on your system


===== Preparing the CF-card =====

This guide works for a Windows computer. Doing the same from a Linux client requires different command, but the steps are the same.
  * Start a command prompt, and start the DISKPART console. List all of your disks by typing LIST DISK, then select the proper disk with SELECT DISK # (where # is obviously the CF-card). Check with LIST DISK that you selected the correct disk, which after the select has a "*" mark in front of the disk information. You can then type CLEAN, and it will clear the partition table on the card.
  * To create a primary partition to reuse the space on the card, type CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY. This will then reallocate the previously "cleaned" space.
  * To format, type FORMAT FS=FAT32 QUICK, and finally, to reassign a drive letter, type ASSIGN.

If you're unable to determine the proper disk, remove the CF-card, run DISKPART and LIST DISK, and then re-run it with the CF-card inserted. The CF-card is just the disk that has been added.

===== Running the virtual machine =====

  * Create a virtual machine with fixed size of 14 GB (14848 MB), so that it fits on any type of 16 GB CF-card.
  * Settings in VirtualPC before boot: 1 CPU, 512MB RAM, DVD drive with endian3.iso attached. Boot the virtual machine.
  * The green interface is set at 192.168.1.1/24, since I always operate my green interface in this address range.
  * Reboot the installed EFW appliance several times until the boot is not interrupted anymore

===== Transfer to Alix box =====

  * Run WinImage and restore the image to your CF-card.
  * Plug the CF-card into the Alix box and connect your computer to the green interface to login.
