Blackbird version to install (was: Re: Blackbird Support)

[Curtis Hamilton]

I followed that tip and have a monitor attached via VGA. I can select the
freebsd install, but the system would crash during the boot process.

However, I think it may be my board.  I tried installing openSUSE
Tumbleweed and after it installed it crashed during startup. Now the system
shuts down during IPL with errors about “no functional no chiplets.  It
continues to loop through this process until I power it off.
