Hi, Alix is a 32 bit i586 Geode cpu, and your build machine seems to be an amd64 - I'd advise building on the same arch, it makes things a bit simpler :) Anyway, I recently played a bit with nanoBSD myself (on an Alix box, too, and on a 9.2 system like you), and at the end I gave up with the specific 'pcengines' script. I used the generic nanobsd.sh script instead, modified the conf file a bit (for example added "customize_cmd cust_comconsole"), and then it worked like a charm. I documented all my steps and configuration files here: gopher://gopher.viste-family.net/0/myinfobase/phlogengine.cgi?disp2013-11-17 Also, note that Alix uses a unusual default serial speed (38400 bps), while the nanobsd script resets the serial port to classic 9600 bps. HTH. cheers, Mateusz On 11/20/2013 04:26 PM, Dimitar Vassilev wrote: > Hello all, > I've cooked myself a nice Nanobsd set for my Alix 1D.
