I now tried another serial cable which proved to work on another soekris 
net6501-30 just fine. On the one with the burning Error LED I still get no 
output and no input at all on the serial console, network-LEDs at the front 
keep blinking rapid and randomly. Is there anything I can do or is this box 
just wrecked now? Is there any way to make sure if it is a hardware fault? How 
can that even happen after a software update? It was not the first time that I 
updated pfsense this way, had 2-3 updates before already. The reboot was made 
by the updater, not by pressing reset switch or turning power off by the way.
