This is a tiny sbc based on National's Geode GX cpu with on-board VGA controller, ethernet, compact-flash slot, etc. It has 64 MB ram. Currently it has a floppy disk and a harddisk, but in the end I want to run it with a compact-flash card only. I am trying to install FreeBSD on it, so I downloaded the boot and mfsroot floppies. (I tried 4.4, 4.5RC and -current.) The system boots, goes into the blue installer screen, gives a short messages about locating devices, and then the screen goes blue with only a blinking cursor. Keyboard is non-responsive at that point, so I can't switch to the other console to see what's going on. Any ideas what is going wrong, or tips how to find out?
