GB-Ware Firewall Product Guide14
The serial version of the GB-Ware runtime installs factory default
settings; a serial or temporary peer Ethernet connection can be used
to change these settings. If you prefer to perform initial firewall
configuration over the web or with GBAdmin, choose this option.
The selection list also includes the Erase Disk function. This allows the user
to clear all the disk data from the selected disk.
Caution
Using the
ERASE DISK
choice will erase a drive’s contents. Only
use it if you are sure you want to destroy all data on the destination
disk.
GNAT Box Runtime System Software Runtime Installer
Selecting an Installation Disk
The software will ask you to select a drive that should receive the GB-Ware
installation. From the list of available devices, select the Compact Flash
card or hard drive device where you wish to install GB-Ware.
Note
The Compact Flash card, once mounted using an adapter or USB
card reader, is considered a disk drive by the system.
Press the
SPACE BAR
to cycle through available options, or use the
F2
key
to display a list of devices and the
ARROW
keys to move through the list.
The prefix da indicates a direct access USB device. A USB Compact Flash
card reader/writer containing a Compact Flash card might be designated
da0. Any additional USB devices recognized by the installation will be
designated as da1, da2, etc.
The prefix ad identifies an IDE device. Any recognized IDE device
installed on the primary IDE controller master will be designated ad0,
whether it’s a hard drive or a Compact Flash card mounted in a Compact
Flash IDE adapter. Any additional recognized IDE device will be designated
by the IDE controller slot it occupies; if you have not disconnected your
firewall’s hard drive, and you put a Compact Flash card and IDE adapter on
the primary IDE controller slave port, the hard drive will be recognized as
ad0, while the Compact Flash card will be designated ad1.
