Well ... here's the sequence of what I did.
First, I ran it headless and talked to petitboot via obmc-console-client.
I think that's how I did the actual install and config but I did not keep
sufficiently detailed notes. I *do* know that I used the USB stick for
the install image, no matter when I did it.
Later, I plugged in kbd/mouse/monitor and have since been booting
through that method. (That's how I learned the trick of "you can't
use k/m/m unless you boot petitboot via that method.)
I'm starting to worry that you have a damaged board. Try it with
k/m/m and see what happens.
