      Hello!

      Does anybody know if this problem is solved?

      http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,17830.0.html

      I would like to buy a FabiaTech FX5622 box …

      Regards,

      Josep Pujadas

        I think I know what you're seeing, a few Intel boards have a hardware bug in the serial implementation that prevents booting if displaying the boot menu on a serial console. You can work around it by not displaying the boot menu on serial. Put the CF/hard drive into a functional pfSense system, hit 8 to get a command prompt, and run:

        boot0cfg -v -B ad0

        where ad0 is the CF/HD. Put it back into that system, and it should work fine. But you won't be able to switch between partitions 1 and 2 unless the BIOS has serial redirection that allows you to get that prompt.

          Chris,

          Thanks!

          I understand you told me to rewrite the Boot Manager for non interactive booting:

          http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=boot0cfg

          However, I can't test now. People near me that they have these boxes said they are in production, using Embedded.

          I encouraged them to make the test … in order to have upgrading available.

          Regards,

          Josep Pujadas

            Nanobsd usually uses boot0sio, which displays the F1/F2 boot prompt on the serial console. That switches it to boot0, which shows that on VGA instead.

              This means that after that NanoBSD will be VGA+keyboard ?

              Tried to run the command on an ALIX box running NanoBSD … and got an error ...

              boot0cfg: /dev/ad0: Class not found
              boot0cfg: /dev/ad0: ioctl DIOCSMBR: Inappropriate ioctl for device

                I found

                http://arkiv.netbsd.se/?ml=freebsd-stable&a=2008-11&t=9160032

                where it says that

                sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=16

                is needed before attempting boot0cfg

                  Finally, it worked!

                  1. Modify the CF on a running box:

                  sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=16
                  boot0cfg -v -B ad0

                  2. Go with the modified CF to FX5622

                  Booting … serial ...

                  Limitation: No possible to boot from the second slice, as you said.

                  Regards,

                  Josep Pujadas

                    Hi,

                    now we have this problem, does it mean that we need another pfsense box, boot from the nano distro, and then modify it with

                    sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=16
                    boot0cfg -v -B ad0

                    and finally put it in the fabiatech  FX5622.

                    are this steps correct?

                    thanks

                        oooh  :(

                        we only have our FX5622, we will try to boot from a multicard reader in a standard PC,

                        when I'll get it, I'll let you know.

                        Many thanks!
