Comments/Problems:
Same system as previous succesfull install except keyboard and monitor
rather than serial console, and previous failed except tgx4 rather
than creator framebuffer.
Hangs at "Setting up filesystems, please wait ..." and half a dozen
unimplemented instruction errors. (The latter are normal.) Alt-F2
allows me to get a busybox shell, languagechooser is running. Alt-F1
does not restore the display.

With Microsoft, failure is not an option. It is a standard feature.
