[Freedombox-discuss] Cubietruck first boot trouble

[Philippe Baret]

Hello,

problem is solved regarding SD card, i had actually to use a microSD 
card inserted in the TF slot. You can find a Question&Answer on the wiki 
about that>
https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/QuestionsAndAnswers#SD_card_is_not_detected_through_USB_or_OTG_on_a_Cubietruck_SSD_edition._Did_i_miss_something.3F

while booting now the correct way, i have some systemd messages 
displaying endlessly "Time has been changed". Help requests are posted 
on sunxi and cubieboard forums.
