Boot problems on ALIX 2c

Hi

I'm new to pfsense. I started playing with the demo of 2.15 last week. I have an ALIX2c that I am trying to configure with
pfSense-2.2-RC-2g-i386-nanobsd-20141209-0946
new install. I upgraded the BIOS with no issues over a serial cable to .99H. Mode is set to CHS

I began with the 64bit version and found a post indicating I needed the 32bit version.

I am having what appears to be the same boot broblem as here:
https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=85339.msg468224#msg468224
The unit boots, shows the
1 pfsense
2 pfsense
F6 PXE
Boot: 1
I am unable to enter a value. I just get a #. After a few seconds it begins booting and shows text mixed with gray squares. The 3 leds flash in sequence continuously. That's as far as I get . Nothing readable. The above post indicats the issues was solved, but not how.

I do not get the menu for installing shown here
https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=75517.msg411998#msg411998

Not clear on what the boot options are.

I have searched the 2.2 forum on ALIX

Thanks

Problem Solved

Baudrate was 38400 when working with ALIX and BIOS. It needs to 115200 for pfSense 2.2
