Thanks for your response.

I obtained from git clone https://github.com/NickDaly/freedom-maker.git
about 2 or 3 weeks ago.

That did not work, I had to set "noauth=true" in fbx-base.conf. I am
using the alpha of gNewSense 3.0 which is based on Debian Squeeze. Does
this problem have something to do with the mix of Squeeze and Wheezy.
Anyway I think this is of interest to fix as many users may not want or
be able to always update to a different version of Debian at least not
in the short therm.

I updated U-Boot to 2012-04-01 and did a setenv for the boot args as
directed in the freedom box README file.

But I get an error that it U-Boot cannot find a kernel image ( I show
printenv output first). Any help would be appreciated.
