      Hi,
      i flashed 1.2.3-nano on a 4gb cf-card. Setup procedure for ALIX (set to 9600, CHS mode) also made.
      After mem-check of the system, the cf is identified and a menu with to option appears 1) BSD …. 2)BSD ..... (identical entries).
      Option 1 is pre-selected.

      I can't select an option or start the selected option. Only a # is reflected if i stroke - what ever key - on my keyboard. The # appears in simultanious sequence and looks like a boot-procedure. After 30 minutes of waiting for anything else. I stopped and rebooted again.
      Same result after reboot.

      I have now installed the 1.2.2 and this works. But i can't update this version to 1.2.3. (Meanwhile i understood, that at least 1.2.3 nano versions are able to upgrade..... )

      Can anybody help me to find a solution for the issue to install 1.2.3 on the alix.

          You are on ALIX, as you said. That page is for a WRAP.

          You likely just need a BIOS update, which is also on the doc wiki, complete with a CF image that has the BIOS update on it.
