Kia ora Nicola, I can run both of those images just fine on my BBB. I created the micro SD card exactly the same way that you did. After digging in to things I have managed to reproduce your error. To avoid this problem you will need to boot from the SD card *without* pressing the S2 button. "But Lloyd" you say, "pressing the S2 button is how you boot from the SD card". Well, yes and no. Pressing the S2 button changes where U-Boot is loaded from. U-Boot has its own idea of where to search for a loadable O/S mostly unrelated to where U-Boot itself was loaded from. The U-Boot on the eMMC card will boot NetBSD from the SD card just fine. With the S2 button pressed this happens to me: 1) The CPU loads U-Boot from the SD card 2) U-Boot runs lots of scripts 3) u-Boot loads the NetBSD EFI bootloader 4) The NetBSD EFI bootloader loads the NetBSD kernel 5) Something crashes With the S2 button *not* pressed this happens to me: 1) The CPU loads U-Boot from the eMMC 2) U-Boot runs lots of scripts 3) u-Boot loads the NetBSD EFI bootloader 4) The NetBSD EFI bootloader loads the NetBSD kernel 5) Everything works Ngā mihi, Lloyd
