Hello,

I'm new to the Soekris product.  I have a Net4801 board with a HardDisk that
will be boot medium.  I've been reading the list, and some of the good
references -- all have been very helpful.

I'm attempting to install FreeBSD-based pfSense to a HDD in my Soekris via
pxeboot.  I've been following the instructions at
http://www.ultradesic.com/?section=145.

I've got pfsense's bootable "LiveCD" (installer disc) mounted @ a tftpd
server, responding to a pxeboot request via a DHCPd-assigned network
address.

Everything's worked perfectly to this point.

However, On "boot f0" on the Soekris, I see readable text at the pfsense's
default 9600 baud connection, but paging/scrolling is screwy -- eventually
scrolling back to the term top, rewriting onto a single line -- and, the
boot process eventually hangs.

Here's what I'm seeing at the hang in the terminal window:

 > boot f0

Note the clipped line-starts. And, the process gets no further.

I see exactly the same behavior whether I use c-kermit, Screen or Minicom
terminal emulators.

I'll readily admit, I'm not sure where the problem lies.

Any ideas/help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
