      I´m trying to get a Alix.2c1 to work - I have follows various guides and flashed a CF card with the embedded release-image.
      I´m using the tool from the m0n0wall-site.
      When I hook up my board to Putty this is what I get:

      PC Engines ALIX.2 v0.99
      640 KB Base Memory
      130048 KB Extended Memory
      01F0 Master 044A TRANSCEND
      Phys C/H/S 1942/16/63 Log C/H/S 971/32/63
      1   FreeBSD
      2   FreeBSD
      Boot:   1 ############################################

      And the ### keeps on going with one every 10-20 seconds.

      My bios looks like this:

      Engines ALIX.2 v0.99
      640 KB Base Memory
      130048 KB Extended Memory
      01F0 Master 044A TRANSCEND
      Phys C/H/S 1942/16/63 Log C/H/S 971/32/63
      BIOS setup:
      9 9600 baud (2) 19200 baud (3) 38400 baud (5) 57600 baud (1) 115200 baud
      (C) CHS mode L LBA mode (W) HDD wait (V) HDD slave (U) UDMA enable
      (M) MFGPT workaround
      (P) late PCI init
      R Serial console enable
      (E) PXE boot enable
      (X) Xmodem upload
      (Q) Quit

      I have tried the m0n0wall image and it boots perfectly, I have also tried a lot of different CF cards, also industrial and Sandisk
      and it is always the same result.

      Need to update to 0.99h instead  -  http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/ALIX_BIOS_Update_Procedure
