Re: [pfSense] Console is in cyrillic

Re: [pfSense] Console is in cyrillic
Here is what I'm seeing: http://imgur.com/bh3hBwt I reloaded a new 2.2.1 image and I get the same thing. If I put a 4 gb card with a new 2.2 image in it it works fine. If I put a different 4 GB card with an older 2.0.3 version it works fine. Is there an issue with the 2g image?

Re: [pfSense] Console is in cyrillic
Haven't changed it... This is a netgate branded Alix that came complete from the factory. The 2.2 update bricked it. I rewrote the latest 2.2 image to its 2 gb flash card. Tried 38400 but that spits out true gibberish. The greek/cyrillic that I get at 115200 shows me the actual proper menu... it is just in a funny font.
