      Hi!
      Just updated my working 1.2-RC3 build 19/11 to the 21/11 build on my Alix2c3 and it's working fine. Except, after a full boot (which I follow using the console cable), these are the last lines I see and then no menu:

      Executing rc.d items…
      Starting /usr/local/etc/rc.d/*.sh...done.
      appending output to nohup.out
      Bootup complete

      Normally, I get the console menu. What is wrong?

      Thanx! Martijn

        Me again; could it be that because during the upgrade through the console (option 13), I've chosen option 3 - Embedded kernel (no video, no keyboard) when asked for the kernel version, that my Alix now doesn't display the menu ?

          Login via ssh and than

          /etc/rc.conf_mount_rw
          mv /etc/ttys /etc/ttys_back
          cp /etc/ttys_wrap /etc/ttys
          reboot

          Thats it.

            reboot

            This worked for me, thanks
