When trying to boot pfSense-2.0.1-RELEASE-4g-i386-nanobsd.img.gz I get the following:
Quote
Booting [/boot/kernel/kernel]...
CPU doesn't support long mode
Does pfSense not support i586 processors? If it does, what's the deal then?
Edit: Copy/pasted the wrong release initially.

You're trying to boot a 64-bit image.

You are trying to run the 64-bit kernel on a processor which doesn't support the 64-bit instructions. You should be trying to install a kernel for the 32-bit instruction set, for example, pfSense-2.0.1-RELEASE-4g-i386-nanobsd.img.gz
amd64 in the name indicates its for "newer" CPUs supporting the 64-bit instruction set; i386 in the name indicates its for "older" and "low-end" CPUs which don't support the 64-bit instruction set.

Copy pasted the wrong thing. Definitely flashed the i386:
Edit: I just noticed the console output says it's trying to boot AMD64. I was pretty sure I flashed i386. I'll redownload and reflash it, thanks.

Did you notice the output you posted shows an incomplete copy to the output device?
Maybe it is broken and you need a new flash drive.
