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

Thanks for the reply Selective and Eric! Would either of you know where I can find the procedure on how to perform the tasks mentioned? Best Regards.

its easy, when booting, this line comes up: Press any key to display configuration menu... Press a key and you find a menu, first format, then upload firmware via TFTP
