I'm trying to press my old RB2011 back into service but it's not booting or talking to Netinstall. I've got a USB to serial console cable off ebay but it doesn't see anything.

Has anyone in Wellington got a known-good console cable (USB or with a known good USB to serial adapter) I could borrow for a few days?

Thanks!

And double thanks, resetting the routerboot config via serial port means it now talks to netinstall!
