All the files appear to be available, have created my flash drive, But, am failing at the part where it starts QEMU, after the first line the console returns a > prompt, I enter the second line, get another >, after hitting return on the 3rd line i get the following: pci_add_option_rom: failed to find romfile "pxe-rtl8139.bin" I've no idea what this means, HELP!! One question, when using a router in GNS3 i simply put the correct IOS into the image file, tell GNS3 to use that image. Can I run one of these unpacked ASA802 files in the same way? Hi, new to Ubuntu, but have nearly got this working by simply pasting in the various commands.

All the files appear to be available, have created my flash drive,
But, am failing at the part where it starts QEMU, after the first line the console returns a > prompt, I enter the second line, get another >, after hitting return on the 3rd line i get the following:

pci_add_option_rom: failed to find romfile “pxe-rtl8139.bin”

I’ve no idea what this means, HELP!!

One question, when using a router in GNS3 i simply put the correct IOS into the image file, tell GNS3 to use that image. Can I run one of these unpacked ASA802 files in the same way?

I haven't got time to investigate how to simulate version 8.2. Maybe I'll update that later on. sorry I didn’t notice that. I haven’t got time to investigate how to simulate version 8.2.

Drag ASA to you diagram box. Right-click to start. There is a console box shown. Then, right-click the ASA icon to connect to console, your putty is launched by default.
