I have an old PIX 506 that I would like to put to use, however when I connected via COM1 to start configuring it all I ever get is:

Build Time: 04/27/99 17:08:34 Polaris BIOS Version 0.09 CPU = Pentium with MMX 200 MHz

640K System RAM Passed
31M Extended RAM Passed
0512K Cache SRAM Passed System BIOS shadowed Cisco Secure PIX Firewall BIOS (4.0) #0: Fri Mar 31 11:32:03 PST 2000 Platform PIX-506 Flash=i28F640J5 @ 0x300

Use BREAK or ESC to interrupt flash boot. Use SPACE to begin flash boot immediately. Reading 1937920 bytes of image from flash. #

That sits there for a bit, then it reloads. Any ideas? Is it dead? =)

Is it just the one '#' ?

Maybe, but first I'd try reloading the software.

Here's a page that walks through the reload process:

Yes, 9600 8 N 1 is good for accessing a PIX console.
