XG Firewall Home Edition on SG Hardware

Hi Tony,

I tested it for you and it's working:

I installed the SFOS 15.01.0-376 Software ISO for Home purpose. Keep in mind that it's eth4 for "Port1" to reach the WebAdmin!

So presently you have a non functioning 105?

Is there by change not a hidden partition you are not seeing with the bootloader or can you get to the bootloader without the drive plugged?

So you have a 105 that is basically a brick until you can figure out how to reload?

Is it possible a hidden partition has been created on the drive that you are not seeing? Have you tried a different disk?

Where can we get SW-SFOS_15.01.0-376.iso now that Sophos has removed images from their FTP site?  The newest revision throws errors on SG hardware saying to use the HW version.

If you first reinstall the SG HW device with a SG HW ISO and then configure it to just be able to reach the console, you can then rename or remove the file: /etc/asg  and right after that it is possible to overwrite the device with SW version of XG (version 16)

By version 16 the software version of SFOS is now possible to install on SG/XG Hardware(I guess it's only on the smaller appliances, I can install the SW version on my SG105, but not on my SG125)

Deleting the asg file in UTM9 has no influence since the harddrive is being formatted during SFOS installation.

I just did the same on a SG105. First time it wouldn't install because appliance found. I then deleted /etc/asg and could then overwrite with SW XG 16.

I tried deleting the /etc/asg file on my SG125 but it still required the HW version of SFOS during install.

So i took the SSD from the SG125 and installed it in my SG105 and then installed the software version of SFOS on it (had to do the same with my XG105). So i guess there's something magical about that SG105..

So I've got an XG85 unit. Can I install XG Home Edition on that?

It is possible yes, but it's not easy. I managed to install the software version of SFOS on an XG105 appliance

Thanks, this looks promising"

"and then configure it to just be able to reach the console"

How would I go about doing that?
