Photo of freeze.

Hi, all. I'd like to see FreeBSD running on a new class of box I've got
here. Not new hardware. These are Atom chips on Micro-ITX motherboards, and
are interesting in that they are low-power and have dual gigabit NICs.
They're UEFI-only.

These boxes seem to not like the FreeBSD 12.1 .iso files as written to USB
sticks, but I could boot the installer with an .img.

That said, the resulting system as installed seems to freeze in precisely=20
the same place as the .iso-files-written-to-USB froze. I took a photo of=20
the freeze, and then realized that it was the same as when I was trying to=
=20
boot from the USB stick the first time.

Photo attached, along with dmesg output on this hardware from NetBSD and=20
Linux (two different systems, identical but for MAC addresses) in case that=
=20
helps.

What's different between the .iso and the .img files, and how might that=20
translate to the installed system, if that's not a red herring? And how=20
might I get these boxes to boot FreeBSD?=20

The boxes don't have build-in storage so I'm installing and booting from=20
USB drives, so making modifications from another system to test things=20
ought to be fairly straightforward.

Addendum: To try -current in case it was a known issue, I downloaded the=20
mini-memstick.img, but it freezes in the same place.
