Can You help me please?

how connect to console ???
me connect but i dont now how reboot to enter the boot options
say only pres ctr -x or pres a or b or q ?
connect from windows terminal?

I hve seen this prob with the RB500 Series boards..

It is NOT the RouterBoard (the screen you show looks more like a intel install…)

The cause (for me) wan the NIC on the “installation server”.

Try another NIC on the installarion source..

I wan using an onboard intel based NIC on a Compaq M700 and it would time out when the RB500 would drop its connection for a split second durring the installation, the M700 NIC would freak nad the installation would fail..

The fix was to install a Xircom CE3 NIC in the PC-Card slot and install via a X-Over cable..

WORKS GREAT LASTS LONG TIME !!!

So try using another NIC in your install server and you will have better results..

Best of luck !!
