I have prepared a (16 GB) micro SDHC card from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/arm/armv6/ISO-IMAGES/10.2/Fre= eBSD-10.2-STABLE-arm-armv6-RPI-B-20151229-r292855.img.xz (i.e., dd'd the 480 MB to the card). I have a barebones RPI 1 B+ into which I insert the card. The only available connection is via Ethernet, i.e., no monitor, no keyboard, no serial. After applying power something seems to happen in that after a while, the Ethernet LEDs on the RPI blink in a way typical for Ethernet. However, that's it, specifically my DHCP server never receives a request, nor does the RPI in any way become accessible via Ethernet. In fact, not a single Ethernet frame reaches the DHCP server (checked via tcpdump). After shutting down and doing a binary comparison of the card's contents with the image, there are very few changes; mounting the image and the card and then doing a diff -r shows no differences at all. The filesystem on the card also has not been resized. The RPI runs its original Linux fine. Any pointers as to what is going on? -- Martin
