Does the Ethernet port have a light turned on when it is connected and has had a chance to boot? If it does then the boot got far enough to do that much. > Now, just to make sure I get this right - hooking up a serial port in > the FreeBSD notes means using a USB/serial interface on the BPI, right? > (Rather than expecting serial on some of the BPI's I/O pins.) There are 3 separate pins next to the Ethernet port that have the kernel messages and such and allow a login after booting. Unlike a RPI2B running FreeBSD stable/11 I've had problems with dropped text when connected to the BPi-M3.
