RE: [pfSense Support] CF 1.0.1 boot failure
Maybe your nullmodemcable is not ok. You need to assign NICs first from the console before you can use any of the interfaces (unless you are using sis nics which are preconfigured for the embedded image). Check your cable at another box to see if it actually is working.

Re: [pfSense Support] CF 1.0.1 boot failure
Perhaps I have a null modem connection problem as 5 beeps are eventually heard, suggesting it may be running up properly, however I can't ping any of the (3) NIC's at 192.168.1.1 as I presume I should be able to do on at least one? (Using 192.168.1.2 255 255 255 0) I get no output to HyperTerminal or to Teraterm, tried various cables, definitely using COM1 form the motherboard H - Original Message - From: "Holger Bauer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Tuesday, November 07, 2006 10:48 PM Subject: RE: [pfSense Support] CF 1.0.1 boot failure The embedded images have output at com1.

Re: [pfSense Support] CF 1.0.1 boot failure
Do you get any serial output on Hyperterminal on your m0n0wall config? I would suspect on the serial consol output <--> Hyperterminal relation. The boot loader after a few spins switches over to serial consol output. It seems to me this happens to you. Sorry I don't know hyperterminal so I can't help with that to you.

RE: [pfSense Support] CF 1.0.1 boot failure
The embedded images have output at com1. There won't be video output once it started. This is due to some embedded devices only having serial console and no video. Access your machine at com1, 9600baud using a terminalprogram.
