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 
the same place as the .iso-files-written-to-USB froze. I took a photo of 
the freeze, and then realized that it was the same as when I was trying to 
boot from the USB stick the first time.

I've got a photo of it in the bug I've just opened to complement this 
email, along with dmesg from NetBSD and Linux:

    https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=249226

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

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

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