Further update - I just put a Bananian image onto the SD card, booted it up,
and both the USB keyboard and the network interface work.
So, there's nothing wrong with the hardware - but the Chimaera installer
certainly doesn't work on it.
Can anyone kindly point me at how best to debug this, and maybe improve the
installer for others?
Thanks,
Antony.
