i recently tried to upgrade to the september builds
and i can no longer get a ip to my alix 2c2 to configure the web setup on default.

ive had to rever to using m0n0wall for time being

Can you connect to the serial port?

See what it shows on the serial console. You probably don't have the latest ALIX BIOS, you need a newer one to use nanobsd snapshots.

It would also help to know exactly which image(s) you tried that did not work, either timestamps or links to the image file would help.

You likely need a BIOS update Some detail on that process is here: http://www.pcengines.ch/freedos.htm But without a serial port, you will not be able to interact with the update process. So there's no DB9 connector on your ALIX board? |

You could probably create a batch file to automatically update the BIOS...

Assuming you have created a FreeDOS CF card with everything you need including the flashing program and the new BIOS image, all you would need to do is add the flashing command to AUTOEXEC.BAT. If the flashing program requires user interaction, that's another issue.

The update process was automatic when I last tried it, so you could probably just put the flash command in AUTOEXEC.BAT
Be sure to wait a while, you don't want to power cycle when it's flashing...

And at the very end of the process, assuming everything worked the way it was expected to, will pfSense apply a specific IP address to a specific interface so that the box can be accessed and set up?

i was on the 0.99 bios on my alix2c3 and everything seemed to work till the 7th sep update for me but i read that due to image sizes being resized so a reflash was recommended so i did exactly that using the 8th sept update and found my box not to boot anymore so i did a bios update and thats where i nticed that the bios update was actually using the alix1.bin file to update rather than me providing it with the alix2.bin file but now i cant even enter bios setup at all.

1) get a spare CF card and downlaod the latest bios drivers 2) go to this link and follow the LBA image file part http://www.pcengines.ch/freedos.htm3) using a USB card reader use physdiskwrite to copy the image file to the CF card 4) then go to windows explorer and copy the bios update files to the same CF card 5) create a file called autoexec.bat and in it type the command sb.com and save in same CF card and boot from this CARD and everthing should be fine |
