FreeBSD boots using serial console, that means there is no output on the HDMI. FreeBSD also don't start any LED blinking action as other OS do, so no LED output either. Depending on how the image was created (I'm not up to date with that) it might start a DHCP client and sshd on network. In general it is best to hook up the serial to see the boot output and where it fails, if it not just silently booting all the way through. -- B.Walter http://www.bwct.de Modbus/TCP Ethernet I/O Baugruppen, ARM basierte FreeBSD Rechner uvm.
