    The config is corrupt, the first line of the config tells the FG unit in which mode it should start vdom yes/no and nat/rout or TP mode. As the FG60B doesn' t support alternative firmware or config the only option you have is to format the flash, reload firmware and restore config. Cheers, Eric
