not really fixing your crash but try disable intelfb0*
at the boot prompt. This is a standard workaround for issues with graphics hardware. It will leave you with very basic console graphics, but I'm guessing you plan to just not use the monitor except for configuring. (I don't mean to say fixing this wouldn't be good, just that this might get you going. I have been thinking about protectli devices as my apu2 is getting slower every year :-)
