      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
