        That is the point at which the output switches to the serial console. It's probably booting fine.
        Are you booting from a NanoBSD image on CF card? Do you have a PCI graphics card in there to see the bootloader output?

        Edit: What I wrote above is wrong!
        That's in fact the first thing you expect to see on the serial console after the bios has run.

          I re-loaded the 2gb image after successfully loading and booting from the 512mb image.
          A bad image load at first.  All is working now, thanks!
