What? Unless they were a custom run with the serial port specifically deleted, there should be a serial port. http://www.pcengines.ch/alix2c2.htm

Yeah, they come in these cases with only one usb port showing and 2x lan, heres the pic of the board itself, db9 missing.

Well I ended up getting 3 of these, m0n0 and ddwrt boot up fine, I installed pf 2.0 on a spare pc, backed up config.xml, edited interfaces to relate to the alix's (vr0 & vr1) then i fed it back in the spare machine with the restore function, it rebooted and I powered off the computer when it was doing POST, swapped over the cf card to the alix and….didnt work :D
I must of missed something but Ill give it a go again later, as a last resort Ill buy a db9 port!
By the way, the person I bought this off has a shit load of old WRAP's that he's selling for peanuts, but even more alix c2c's
-
Try a newer 1.2.3 embedded snapshot, the default interfaces changed to vr0 and vr1 a while back.
-
Thanks for the heads up, Ill give the new 1.2.3 nanobsd go.

I've just been using the stock embedded ones so far. http://snapshots.pfsense.org/FreeBSD_RELENG_7_2/pfSense_RELENG_1_2/embedded/

Thanks for the link, the latest snapshot (pfSense-1.2.3-20090615-1722.img.gz) worked great for me.
Ill eventually have to get a serial port attached for bios updates, but atleast I can play with it for the time being!
