      Hello,

      I'm using a Nexcom NSB1083 Board, pretty standard Intel System with CF Socket and 4x NIC.
      I've dd'd a current 1.2.3 Image onto a CF. (did that before several times successfully)

      Booting shows "BTX Loader 1.x…." after quite some time, nothing else happens.

      Querying this forum, I found several suggestions to play with BIOS (HDD and ACPI) settings --
      -- did that,  yields no result, still stuck at BTX Loder.

      Also, I am unable to boot from CDROM with the same error.

      Can anyone help me to boot my system or diagnose the issue?

      Thank you,

      • Karl

        Those NanoBSD images currently only use a serial console and do not have VGA support.

          Thanks, I'll try a Serial Terminal.

            @Efonne:

            That was, of course, the problem - thanks a lot!

            Probably it would be nice to document that on the Download and Versions pages.
