still no luck with: composite only, hdmi, no video
I tried too: without keyboard and no ethernet pluggued, same thing...

they are all there, (to reply to Diane Bruce also) I made my dd with
dd if='any image' of=/dev/da0 bs=1M

(the same as what had been done with rasbian & riscos, witch were 
working fine)
hosts running dd are a fresh 9.2-PRERELEASE, an old 8.3-stable
The sha256 signature (of my last image) was ok.

Glabel shows the msdos & ufs slices ..

All give the same result: the short "act" blink whenever a freebsd SD 
card is inserted....

I think they are all fine but not with my board... is the serial on GPIO 
will say something if I buy an adaptater ? , or is the boot desperetly 
blind, until an OS is booted ?
I've seen quite nothing about serial debug...
