Hi Frank,
Most probably, the SD in the built-in slot is not recognized at initrd
stage. Can you send "cat /proc/partitions" at the prompt after boot fail.

Joshua,
Thanks again. I tried the install again using voyage-current and
voyage.update didn't throw any errors. I had the SD card connected to
an Ubuntu system via a USB multicard reader during the install. Then
I plugged the multicard reader into my Foxconn device
<http://www.foxconnchannel.com/Product/Barebones/NT330i/index.html>
...and it boots perfectly. I am watching the boot process on a
monitor attached to the DVI port. The USB keyboard isn't working, but
this will be a headless box anyway. So I dont care.
However, if I move the SD card to the built-in SD card slot it loads
GRUB, decompresses the kernel and begins booting. At about 8 seconds
I see it hang at:
---[SNIP]--
[8.275103] scsi 0:0:0:0: Direct-Access Generic STORAGE DEVICE 9732 PQ
: 0 ANSI: 0
[8.406383] SD 0:0:0:0: [sda] Attached SCSI removable disk
---[SNIP]--
After a minute or two, it prints:
---[SNIP]--
done.
Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems:
- Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
- Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
- Check root= (did the system wait for the right device?)
- MIssing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev/)
ALERT! /dev/disk/by-label/ROOT_FS does not exist. Dropping to a shell!

I cant do any troubleshooting here without a keyboard but I think I
must need to alter the GRUB settings. The built-in SD card reader
must be recognized as a different device. Maybe?
A successful dmesg when booting via the multicard reader looks like this:

My /boot/grub/menu.lst looks like this:

initrd /initrd.img

I can move the SD card back to the multicard reader to make the
necessary changes but how do i determine what to change?
