I would be inclined to trash the box and start again with a fresh installation
since your supplier doesn't know what has happened to it so therefore the box
can't be trusted...
If you are registered for support you can download IPSO 3.2.1, the boot floppy
(nkipfloppy.bin) and the correct version of Checkpoint that you need
from the following link;
https://support.nokia.com/iprg/index.jsp
... although this is only accessible after login so you may need to go through
the links from the homepage and login first.
Best to pull down the .pdf's and release notes as well to make sure you
understand everything that you are doing and that you have everything you need.
If not it is best to ask your reseller to send the files to you or ask if you
can FTP them from your resellers site.
The file attached below will allow you to create the boot floppy from an Intel
based machine (i.e. your PC), run the file rawwrite2.exe and when prompted give
the
location of the IPSO 3.2.1 BIN file to create the IPSO boot diskette for the
440.
BEWARE that booting the 440 from this diskette will trash everything on the
Nokia so make sure you don't do this by accident!
Its easier to put the IPSO 3.2.1 tgz on a CD and have it ready before you start.
Boot the Nokia from the boot floppy and follow the on-screen instructions, these
should also be in the release notes so you can pre-empt the screens
before you see them.
When prompted tell the installation where your IPSO image is located (in this
case the CD but it can be from a FTP server as per the Release Notes).
Once rebooted the setup screens should tally with what you are expecting.
Once IPSO is installed you can run the NEWPKG -i command (-i = Interactive) to
install Checkpoint, either from CD or FTP the package onto the Nokia itself.
One thing that caught me out for a while is the input for the location of the
image file, if for example the image is on the Nokia in the ADMIN directory,
you must
specify the location as /admin/imagename.tgz
Basically if you follow the Nokia Release notes for the IPSO and the Checkpoint
installation you shouldn't go wrong.
I hope this helps and good luck.
Cheers
Mike

Subject: [FW1] [Q+HELP] Long, ugly new IP440 story
Have recently ordered and received my two Nokia IP440, with
paid gold support for FW-1 and for the hardware (!!!), all serviced
through Checkpoint. BAD EXPERIENCE!!! I will probably never buy
Nokia support (or - depending on future experience) at least
question any type of support from Checkpoint.
Anyhow - here is where (Gold ... or whatever support)
Checkpoint is unwilling (or lacks the knowledge) to help me with -
thus needing the help of the users community: I turned one of the
IP440 boxes, connected to the console with a Linux box running a
VT100 emulator, and, instead of going through what I thought
(according to the manual) was going to be a script of some sort
"leading" me through setting up a couple of things - among which -
the most important (I felt) was to be a choice for an IP setup for
one of the interfaces, and the possibility of utilizing Voyager
through an external machine browser, I got a simple login prompt
... yes, just:
login:
After a zillion calls and obvious username/password combination
attempts, there was a document on Nokia's web site on how to log
in with an admin username and no password - no explanation
under what conditions you might need that - but good enough for
my case. After logging in, I still have no clue on what to do next - I
tried a couple of options from my "rusty" FreeBSD memories, but,
except to being able to launch lynx, I couldn't do much of anything
else (all these at the VT100 "console" ... sorry for having forgotten
this aspect). Even after launching lynx, it doesn't seem to respond
to arrow keys or regular movement keys from my VT100 emulator
... so I am still s...wed.
So - request for help from you (Checkpoint denied me the help
for this, telling me to call them when I have a FW-1 question - that
much for paid support for Nokia, thinking it includes the OS, or at
least the fact that it doesn't "look"/boot as it is supposed to):
1. Has anybody ever dealt with such an issue on a new-out-of-the-
box Nokia?
2. If yes to the above - what "path" have you chosen to get back on
the "scripted" installation track (again - even after "digging" through
known init scripts, still couldn't find how to launch "manually" what
was supposed to start out of the box)?
3. What are the navigational keys for the lynx version on the Nokia?
4. Also - I appreciate any other hints on how to deal with this.
Sorry for the lengthy message ... didn't know where to turn to
anymore ... thinking back on how easy were the non-appliance
Solaris boxes, with FW-1 ver 3.0 to be installed ... wonder if this is
just the beggining of a nightmare ...
TIA,
Stef
