One would think that sauce for the goose would be sauce for the
gander. But is this particular Cubox now useless with FreeBSD?
And if so, why? It is not an unusual model. The Cubox does work
if I flash their "Ignition" startup software (which is used to
bootstrap by downloading various OS images) to the same
Micro SD card.
