Some success in that I now have a serial cable connecting and can watch the flashing and booting. I am still never getting the drive to show up as an external disk where I can change the settings to not do a flash when a card is inserted. I am getting the error below. I googled a bit and it was suggested to make sure you are on the latest image. I believe I have done that and re-flashed. Here is the error after removing the card and booting: Thanks to all for the help. Michael B
