Yes, PIX/ASA has a different OS tham IOS. That's on purpose. Lots of

Come on Bill, that's about the biggest load of revisionist history since
someone tried to hand Checkpoint an award for inventing the firewall! PIX
has a different OS becauase it was an acquired product- and it started on
a different platform (x86) with a different OS (Phoenix.) While Cisco's
been IOSing it over time it started different because it wasn't a Cisco
product.
