I've never tried it but I think you can pop a video card into a PIX and
watch it boot from a monitor. The multiple beep sequence you hear when
turning on a PIX is the motherboard BIOS complaining that there is no video
card installed, which also leads me to believe that the PIX firewall is
based on some X86 OS.
I'd be willing to bet that it's QNX or BSDI.

Subject: OS of Cisco PIX
Hi,
we just had a little discussion here about Cisco PIX which none of us knows.
The Question is: What Operating System is in them (or what is the OS based
on)?
It is not IOS I guess.
