Dear all,

I managed to install FreeBSD on Black Bird system.

I can startup the system by running obmcutil poweron.
When running the obmc-console-client I end up in
Petitboot (v1.10.3-pdd2d545), which shows me:

 Petitboot (v1.10.3-pdd2d545)                         C1P9S01 REV 1.01 D1000058

    FreeBSD

  System status log
  Language
  Rescan devices
  Retrieve config from URL
  Plugins (0)
 *Exit to shell

To boot FreeBSD, I have a manually select it, which then works. However, I would
like to boot FreeBSD automatically. Therefore I configured in 'System Configuration'

 Petitboot System Configuration

  Autoboot:      ( ) Disabled                                                  
                 (*) Enabled

                 [       Clear        ]

                 ( ) /dev/tty1 [VGA]
                 Current interface: /dev/hvc0

                 [    Update system password    ]

                 [    OK    ]  [   Help   ]  [  Cancel  ]


 ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 tab=next, shift+tab=previous, x=exit, h=help
 
Using these settings I would expect the system to boot FreeBSD automatically after
5 seconds. This does not happen. The system also tests for PXE boot although not
configured above. Any idea what am I doing wrong?

Best regards
Michael
