+1 on that.  There were cases in the past that I assume power was the
issue with a number of BeagleBone problems, such as mount USB sticks.

The OP question remains, though: has anyone installed FreeBSD on the
Green yet?  I'm curious about the support for groove and the associated
devices, and whether the "identical chipsets" are *really* identical.
We all know, by now, that the same label on a component is not
necessarily the same chipset.
