Dear all,
I managed to install FreeBSD on Black Bird system.
I can startup the system by running obmcutil poweron.
When running the obmc-console-client I end up in
Petitboot (v1.10.3-pdd2d545), which shows me:
Petitboot (v1.10.3-pdd2d545) C1P9S01 REV 1.01 D1000058
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
[Disk: sda1 / 6AE2-11F9]

*Exit to shell
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
To boot FreeBSD, I have a manually select it, which then works. However, I would
like to boot FreeBSD automatically. Therefore I configured in 'System Configuration'
Petitboot System Configuration
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

[ Update system password ]

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
tab=next, shift+tab=previous, x=exit, h=help
Using these settings I would expect the system to boot FreeBSD automatically after
5 seconds. This does not happen. The system also tests for PXE boot although not
configured above. Any idea what am I doing wrong?
Best regards
Michael
