Installation on an embedded PC (with serial port)
Installation on an embedded PC requires the following steps:
- download the raw CF image (generic-pc-serial)
- write the image to a CF card (>= 32 MB), either with dd under FreeBSD/Linux
or under Windows with physdiskwrite
- FreeBSD:
gzcat generic-pc-serial-xxx.img | dd of=/dev/rad[n]
bs=16k
where n = the ad device number of your CF card (check dmesg)
(ignore the warning about trailing garbage - it's because of the digital signature)
- Linux:
gunzip -c generic-pc-serial-xxx.img | dd of=/dev/hdX
bs=16k
where X = the IDE device name of your CF card (check with hdparm
-i /dev/hdX) - some adapters, particularly USB, may show up under
SCSI emulation as /dev/sdX
(ignore the warning about trailing garbage - it's because of the digital signature)
- Mac OS X:
gzcat generic-pc-serial-xxx.img | sudo dd of=/dev/rdisk[n]
bs=64k
where n = the disk device number of your CF card (check Disk Utility)
(ignore the warning about trailing garbage - it's because of the digital signature)
- Windows:
physdiskwrite generic-pc-serial-xxx.img
- plug the CF card into the board
- plug the box into the network (LAN/WAN/...)
- power it up
- make sure that your console speed matches the setting in the BIOS; m0n0wall will use the same speed as the BIOS
- assign functions (LAN/WAN/OPT) to your interfaces
- change the LAN IP address over the serial console, or use the default
(192.168.1.1; m0n0wall acts as a DHCP server
by default)
- access the webGUI (user: 'admin', default password:
'mono')
- make the necessary changes to the default configuration
