初期の起動状態をシリアルコンソールで見ると、SWAPで faild のエラーが出るようです。
（出ないで正常にSWAP領域が構築される場合もあります。）
途中からですがこんな感じです。
INIT: version 2.86 booting
Activating swap...Unable to find swap-space signature
failed.
この対策もネット上には載っています。

上記のように、mkswap /dev/sda3とswapon -a を行えば良いようです。
この作業で電源LEDが点滅状態になるようですが、電源をいったん切って再起動すると大丈夫のようです。
現状では電源の切断は、halt や shutdown -h now のコマンドでも行う事はできません。
勿論、電源スイッチを長押ししての切断は玄箱特有のものですから無理です。
起動しているのを、ACコンセントを抜いて切断するのも精神衛生上良くありませんからコマンドで切断できるようにします。
[kurobox:~# vi /etc/default/halt
# Default behaviour of shutdown -h / halt. Set to "halt" or "poweroff".
HALT=halt
HALT=poweroff を HALT=halt に書き換えるだけです。
これで、halt 又はshutdown -h nowで電源が切れるようになります。
こんなに簡単に出来るとは露とも知らずに、私は何回コンセントを引き抜いたか知れません。
次に誰でも行う作業は,update と upgrade でしょう。
不都合が出る場合もありますが、その時はその時です。
