Re: Installing NetBSD to an SD card on eBox

Hi Andrius,

booting without ACPI support didn't work either.

Thanks for the idea. I was trying to avoid that, because the device 
only has three USB ports, effectively two unless running headless: one 
of them is too close to the VGA port so I can't use them 
simultaneously. One will be used for connecting the keyboard, so 
either the disk I'll be installing from or the disk I'll be installing 
to will have to be attached to a hub. What should I be aware of before 
trying it?

Here is my dmesg output (installer stick is plugged in directly, wifi 
adapter is in the RPI keyboard/hub):
