I did some more testing, and I made an error on the ALIX 1C since it
does boot but it hangs on devd....

but for WRAP 1C and 2E:

PC Engines WRAP.2B/2C v1.11
640 KB Base Memory
130048 KB Extended Memory

01F0 Master 044A CF CARD 2GB                             
Phys C/H/S 3909/16/63 Log C/H/S 977/64/63

1  FreeBSD
2  FreeBSD

F6 PXE
Boot:  1 ########

Here it ends....

Would you recommend to downgrade the bios? I have version 1.11 on all
boards.

thanks Marten
