Need some assistance, I have a firewall I am trying to reinstall the os,
on, and I have no idea how to do it, they sent me syslinux, but I have
no idea what kernel to use, or really how to install it using syslinux.
Please, any help will be appreciated.

Hi!

Could you post the direct link to update file?
Does the firewall have VGA out or COM port?

Try just unpack tar.gz and skip steps 3-5.

Hi!

I'm sorry for misposting.

Could you actually post the output of tar tzf
(list of content) here?
It's small enough (for just a firewall), it contains no
your information and no someone's trade secrets.
Then I and others could figure out instructions for installing
genuine OS.
Tar for Windows is here:

Good day Scott,

Is there any chance of sharing the product's name?  If not, did its
vendor send you PXELINUX, in the hopes that you could PXE-boot it, or
did you send you files to put on a USB stick to boot the firewall
hardware from?
