This miniPC features an Intel Celeron N100 Processor.

FreeBSD install claimed base.tgz failed it's checksum.  This was an 
often used PNY 32GB Turbo Attaché 3 USB 3.0 Flash Drive (dvd1.iso)  I 
rebuilt it from a disc1.iso, with same checksum error.

I then tried the bootonly.iso, and was able to install and boot into 
freebsd.

I am using amd64 ISOs.

I have a post-install script that I run, and the system panic'ed when it 
discovered a PixArt mouse (Raspberry Pi mouse and keyboard).

I would bet there is some flaw in Celeron processors that prevent 
checksums from working.

I hope the Core team can find some example mini-PCs with the N100 
Celeron and sort out the issues.
