Hi. So I want to dual boot two what I believe are embedded systems. One is pfsense and the other is freeNAS. I know one is a firewall but while using freeNAS, my internet will be off. Ok, would the best way of doing this or can I do this..........I’ll use a USB to boot refund, and I’ll put my operating systems on a SSD drive, and if so, what would be a good procedure for doing this? What if I also wanted to throw an Arch based boot in the mix? Thank you so much, you guys are great.
 
Hi,

The better is to have a separate machine for pfSense (an old PC with two good network cards may be suffisant).

If you really can't, I'd suggest you to install a FreeBSD system and insert both pfSense and FreeNAS in virtual machines (bhyve for instance). It works with pfSense but I never tried with FreeNAS. Anyway, it will be of some complexity...
 
Yes, I have been do al of the mentioned . This was just another way I was thinking of testing it before I even considered putting it into production, just young around and experimenting, I don’t like virtual nas’s myself. Thank for a cool reply
