I don't have an appropriate serial cable, so I connected a USB keyboard. There are some rough edges, but they aren't new with this image: Every so often, a key release event from the USB keyboard is dropped and I get a sequence of repeated characters until I type something else. I think an occasional key press is dropped as well, but I'm such a bad typist that I'm not sure. Although rc.conf says ue0_config="DHCP"', dhclient doesn't run. I can run it manually, and then everything network-related works. I NFS-mounted a /usr/ports tree and installed portmaster. When I tried "portmaster -BDg sysutils/LPRng", it died trying to run something called autom4te while working on libtool. What would we need to do to get a driver for the pulse-width modulation audio port? The lack of a visible cursor on the screen is a major annoyance. Nevertheless, thanks for providing the image! -- George Mitchell
