      I must be missing something simple, but if I install 2.0 fresh(or upgrade from 1.2.3) I don't see how to configure the LAN IP from Serial Console, all I get is this in the console:

        You need to install an "i386" kit on an Alix. You are attempting to run an "amd64" kit which was built to run on a CPU supporting "64 bit" instructions. The CPU on the Alix doesn't have "64 bit" instructions.
