It did, at least temporarily. I was able to boot off the USB drive and stumbled through the installation menu including identifying the WAN and LAN ports, logging in as root, and pinging my main host. However, I was not able to install the image onto the built-in SSD, so it can't boot into the device without the USB drive attached. I did see something about importing or such during the busy installation and configuration, but wasn't able to do anything with the embedded SSD device. At least there is some hope, and I hope someone can tell me how to actually install it onto the device. I have a few days to make it work. -Tom
