How to gain access to the installed partition of XG Firewall to modify boot so only text is seen via console

Ghost Coder

Hi All,

I recently managed to install SW-17.5.9_MR-9-577 on a Check Point 2200 device, but once XG has installed and the device is rebooted all the text seen on the console is junk.

I tried to see the boot partition in Linux and Windows but the entire disk is show to have nothing on it but yet it boots.

How can I gain access to the boot folder/partition so I can modify it to send all text to the serial port?

 

Thanks,

    Hi All,

    I tried the advanced shell and I can't find the boot folder or the grub.cfg anywhere on the disk.
