I'm currently trying to get my old Soekris 4801 running as a router
again. I
never had a single problem with the thing running m0n0wall, and I figured
since development has slowed on m0n0wall i'd give pfSense a chance. I
flashed my CF card and when it boots, I just get a bunch of garbled text
slowly spitting out. I can reflash my CF card for m0n0wall and it works
just
great. Any thoughts?
Set your baud rate to 9600.
And then the POST will be garbled, but the boot messages will be correct.
By default.the 4801 baud rate is 19,200 (at least mine is/was).
You can FIX BOTH problems by going into the 4801's combios setup menu and
change the baud rate to 9600--that way you can see the POST messages,
followed by the boot messages. Otherwise you literally have to change the
baud rate to match a given stage of the boot process.
