I just took delivery on a shiny new Soekris 6501. I'm trying to
install pfsense on it. I've installed from CD on several servers,
but this is my first time with a diskless machine.
I have a serial port converter on a macbook pro, and can bring up the
soekris to a monitor prompt.
I have a 16 GB USB drive mounted inside the case. I'd like to install
pfsense on this drive.
I copied pfSense-memstick-2.0.1-RELEASE-i386.img to the drive with dd
if=pfSense-memstick-2.0.1-RELEASE-i386.img of=/dev/disk4 bs=16k as it
suggested in http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/HOWTO_Install_pfSense.
The system starts up OK, I hit return to boot, and it APPEARS to go
through a boot process. The screen display is confused, with the
'spinning' cursor wandering all over my terminal emulator. Worse,
letters go across the screen but are immediately blanked out. What
term emulator do I need to be? I've tried xterm and xterm-color.
Probably vt100 or somesuch, for serial. xterm supports a lot of
things that most serial consoles do not.
No dice:( None of vt102/rsvt/ansi/xterm/xterm-color work.
If I interrupt the boot process at the right point I get the freebsd
boot prompt, so I think I've got the memstick loaded right.
Has anyone got pfsense loaded on a soekris 6501 ?
Any other ideas?
Thanks,
