      Hi Guys,

      I installed an CF image on an old Firebox Watchguard unit w while ago and everything worked good for a while prior to putting in to storage.  Now I decided to start playing with it again after a few months and after I fired it back up I noticed I couldnt get to the web console so connected using console.  But now during boot i get this menu?  it doesnt allow me to do anything and the # sign will eventually fill the Hyperterminal connection…..  Am i screwed?  Do i need to do a fresh install?

        Did you change any bios settings? It could be your bios battery has gone flat and it's gone back to the defaults.
        Unless you have a very complex setup you need to recover I'd just reflash the CF card if only to rule that out.
