I just unpacked a new unit with this BIOS and found a different issue.

  1 Seconds to automatic boot.   Press Ctrl-P for entering Monitor.

It just freezes here for 60 seconds before going on to boot. This is 
after a power cycle, or resetting via the watchdog or just a plain 
shutdown -r now. The same flash on another board boots as expected.

and then 60 seconds later (it seems to be exactly 60 seconds)

   The webpage says

"It is not recommended to "downgrade" a BIOS to an older version than 
the one a board is supplied with."

Can someone from Soekris comment / help ? I am using FreeBSD 6.3 with 
images build via nanobsd.
What has changed in 1.33 ? There is no change log.
