Thanks for the link. I re did the image and used the imbedded image written to a CF card via a usb reader. Took the card and inserted into a laptop - worked like a charm - booted and asked to setup the interfaces. Whislt I had it running, made the changes as advised in the link. Put the card into the WG and booted with a serial console. THe boot menu now comes up with three options, 1 freebsd, 2 freebsd, 5 other. After making the changes, at least it appears to want to boot, but just sits there with the cursor flashing. Redid the image, used the CD and did an embedded install, used the nano image and still the same thing. I thought after reading the link, this is it, this will fix it. Bummer, no.
Thanks for the idea.
