This step is merely to find out the IP address the FreedomBox machine.
The documentation is wrong is assuming that it will be in the
192.168.0.0 range always.  It could be any of the other ranges such as
192.168.1.0.  In your case, it is certainly not 192.168.0.0.

If you are logged into FreedomBox machine, you can find out the IP
address directly by typing 'ip addr list'.  Then connect to http://<ip
address>/.

Further more, I hope you have followed the instructions in
https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/Hardware/Debian .  Pay particular
attention to the troubleshooting item 2.
