Subject: RE: [m0n0wall] Excellent (and affordable) m0n0 platform
Importance: High


Here is the recipe (please share it in the mailing list - I am not
suscribed):
 
Write your m0n0wall image (the Generic-PC one, very important) to your
CompactFlash card.
 
Now you have to modify the filesystem on it (create a tiny file at the root)
with these simple steps.
 
Download and run the excellent "m0n0wall Live Installer", by Chris Buechler:

<http://chrisbuechler.com/index.php?id=17> 
 
Boot it (I use VMware and I connect my USB CF card reader as a "Physical
Disk", seen as ad0 in BSD) and use the following commands to enable the
Serial Console:
 
camcontrol devlist
atacontrol list
 
mkdir /mnt/cf
mount /dev/<device name reported by atacontrol or camcontrol> /mnt/cf
echo -h>/mnt/cf/boot.config
sync
umount /mnt/cf
 
Now your Generic-PC m0n0wall image is "Serial Console" enabled.  :-)
 
Connect to your PDS with a null-modem cable and run your favorite Terminal
Emulation program at 9600n81.
