Hi,

I'm trying to install DragonFly on an apu2c2 board. This is a AMD-based system with Intel i211 Ethernet adapters and a mSATA interface. To do the install, I made a bootable USB stick with a 4.5 image (from today, Jun 11) and I'm interacting with the board over its serial console. It boots from the stick--you have set the baud rate to 115200 to interact with the BIOS, then change it to 9600 once you boot. When you log in as "installer", it says:

DragonFly v4.5.0.1187.g8bbe5-DEVELOPMENT (X86_64_GENERIC) #0: Sat Jun 11 10:54:11 UTC 2016

Welcome to DragonFly!

Starting installer.  Reading /etc/pfi.conf ...
/usr/sbin/installer: cannot create /dev/ttyv0: Input/output error
/usr/sbin/installer: cannot open /dev/ttyv0: No such file or directory
Installer started

+ Creating DFUI connection on ``9999''

+ Connecting on ``9999''

And it stays there for several minutes. After that:

May  3 13:49:51 getty[1004]: open /dev/ttyv2: No such file or directory

If you log in as "root", you can see that it recognizes the mSATA device (it's ad4 here). The Ethernet interfaces are discovered and work (I was able to SSH out, after assigning an address to one). So it seems like it might work, given some tweaks to the install process. Anyone know what might get the installer to work?

Thanks,

Chuck
