      does anyone know what I need to do to get past this point?  I have a 4GB FAT16 formatted CF drive, I've used the 'file copy' method of installing freedos onto it.  The ALIX board will boot  and display the following:

      InitDiskBad or missing Command Interpreter: command.com /P /E:256
      Enter the full shell command line:

      i've tried various combinations of typing 'command.com', c:\command.com, etc. etc.  But have yet to get past this stage.

      Hmmm - I was under the impression that DOS had a 2-Gig filesystem size limitation… that is not the case??

        I do not have a WRAP board and do not remember the key combination that brings up the BIOS screen.  Sorry.

        I can get to the BIOS screen itself by pressing 's' as the system boots.  There is an option there for xmodem transfer there, but of course I don't know what format the bios firmware needs to be in.

        –regarding the CF card, windows will let me format it as FAT16, so I assume that means there isn't a problem

          Well - maybe and maybe not.

          I am not very familiar with the DOS version used but if it is formatted with 512-byte hard-disk sector record size then the 8-bit sector to cluster size would be 32-kbyte which yields a total of 2-Gbyte using a 32-bit cluster counter (most DOS versions used this standard).  There is an "extended" FAT-16 version which is used by later versions of Windows that yields the 4-Gbyte per drive storage value - I suspect you are using either Windows XP or Vista to format the CF device??

          I am thinking the DOS version used follows the older 512-byte/sector format and would only be able to address 2-Gbyte total but that is just me :)

          I have used several CF devices (64-meg, 128-meg, 512-meg and 1-gig) to test the bios loader and they all worked - I tried using a 4-gig CF card but the physwritedisk program I used responded back that it could only write to a maximum of 2-gig and I had requested it write to a 4-gig device.

            I'm sorry that I made a fool of myself and perhaps also confused some of you with my latest post. My failure with bios 0.98g was only because I had chosen the wrong bios file. As usual it was only a matter of not reading properly. It was all there in the sbyoon's post.

            @sbyoon:

            You can download and write it to any cf card with 'physdiskwrite'. This image includs the 0.98g bios update files for Alix2. If you have Alix2, just execute 'sb.com' after freedos boot up.

            So, the success story for me was:

            1. Download sbyoon's image
            2. Use physdiskwrite and write the image to an old 64MB CF
            3. Boot it on my Alix2 card
            4. Press 's' during bootup sequence and choose 'L' for LBA mode
            5. Quit, save and continue booting
            6. At the FreeDOS-prompt: Type SB.COM (This time with the original Alix1.bin on the FreeDOS disk!)
            7. Power off and change CF
            8. Successfully boot psSense 1.2-RC3 Embedded
            9. Yeehaaa!

              In my book the ONLY foolish question is the one you DON'T ASK!    ;D

              Glad to see you have the Alix up and running!!!

                Just upgraded my 2c2 to Bios 0.98g
                pfsense works like a champ with the todays snapshot incl. OpenVpn

                Even it is only the 433 MHz/128MB Version it works fine on my 30/2 Mbit cable Line

                Real nice work guys.
                Keep this nice work going

                  Could you test if reboot works, please? My 1.2-RC3 panics during reboot but it reboots. If I use the pfsense-1024-image the cpu got hung during reboot and I have to pull the plug :-(
                  BTW. You can see the panic at the seriell console, only.

                  Bye,

                    Works fine
                    No issues
                    I took the image for the snapshot server yesterday
                    But one thing
                    Do you have the 2c3 or like i the 2c2 this is the 433MHz 128MB 3Nic without USB ?
                    Do know this makes a difference…

                    Pascal just put Version 0.99 out on the Pc Engines Website...

                      @luma:

                      Hello Eweri,

                      I have to investigate for reboot. It seems working, I can't serial connect at the moment.

                      Here is the solution for full install (I wrote the last part, Using VirtualBox) :
                      http://devwiki.pfsense.org/FullInstallOnWRAP

                      But it's not a good idea on CF! CF don't support too much write cycle! You are warn!

                      Bye

                      Sorry Eweri, I forgot you. Same answer : no issue at all with reboot on 1.2RC3 10/26/2007.

                      Bye

                          @eweri:

                          Could you test if reboot works, please? My 1.2-RC3 panics during reboot but it reboots. If I use the pfsense-1024-image the cpu got hung during reboot and I have to pull the plug :-(
                          BTW. You can see the panic at the seriell console, only.

                          Bye,
                          eweri

                          Just reply to my self: Installed tinyBIOS 0.99 today and now I have no reboot issues any more. Going to try the 1024MB image and see if the reboot-hung is gone also.

                          Bye,

                            Bad news: it still panics with the pfsense-1024MB-image and got hung until i pull the plug :(

                              As I can see the 1024 image from http://snapshots.pfsense.com/FreeBSD6/RELENG_1_2/embedded/1024/ is pretty old (10/14/07).
                              Please can you upgrade to lastest snapshot using file http://snapshots.pfsense.com/FreeBSD6/RELENG_1_2/updates/pfSense-Embedded-Update-1.2-RC3.tgz? You have to use the upgrade utility provided in the console (option 13) through SSH or serial connection.

                              My 2 cents…

                                  I have two ALIX units, and I was able to get it working ok with one of them.  But with the oe with 3 LAN ports, 2x USB, and 1X mini-PCI, the error on bootup I get is:

                                    Update went okay - but no config-menu at the console any more :-( This is what I get at the console:
                                    ….
                                    Starting OpenNTP time client...done.
                                    Starting CRON... done.
                                    Executing rc.d items...
                                    Starting /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mdnsresponder.sh...done.
                                    appending output to nohup.out
                                    Bootup complete

                                    and than I can type any thing - no reaction from console.
                                    When I login with ssh I get the console setup  ???

                                    I did not test it with the 1024MB image - going to do this next

                                    Bye,

                                      problem solved - mv /etc/ttys /etc/ttys_back and cp /etc/ttys_wrap /etc/ttys and reboot  :)

                                        Does anyone have any thoughts as to why I might still be getting a kernel panic?  I've updated to .99 for the bios.  I've installed the full version of pfSense 1.2 rc3 onto a 4GB microdrive.

                                        Maybe I was a little to quick with "no panics any more" because I had at least one kernel panic at reboot with tinyBIOS 0.99. I upgraded to the latest snapshot (see comment from luma) and rebootet the system 5 or 6 times - no  kernel panics until now.  :)

                                            :( Unfortunately my unit doesn't boot to the point where I can log in at all, so I can't install any updates.  Also, I'm trying to use the full installation on this unit (as I have a microdrive for it).  Are there any other options for me, or will I have to wait for 1.3?
