It did, at least temporarily.  I was able to boot off the USB drive
and stumbled through the installation menu including identifying the
WAN and LAN ports, logging in as root, and pinging my main host.

However, I was not able to install the image onto the built-in SSD, so
it can't boot into the device without the USB drive attached. I did
see something about importing or such during the busy installation and
configuration, but wasn't able to do anything with the embedded SSD
device. At least there is some hope, and I hope someone can tell me
how to actually install it onto the device. I have a few days to make
it work.
