History
2024-08-09: I put the machine together again using the new psu (after having copied the latest vm disk image files to the external hdd) and booted it.
2024-08-09: power supply - I cut the plug off the old PUS, and mounted it on the new one. Tested, works.
2024-08-09: tried with a borrowed power supply. Yes, the machine power up and start from SSD. The RTC battery is dead, most likely.
2024-07-31: tried the new power supply. The inner diameter (ID) of the plug is too small to fit onto the socket in the machine. So I'll have to transplant the plug from the old power supply. Or the whole cable.
2024-07-30: I got the package from Multicom, straight into my mailbox. 1 x Deltaco PS12-30B power supply output 12V 3A NOK 258.- + shipping NOK 49. a total of NOK 307.-
2024-07-24: I got the package with SSDs from Proshop: 1 x Transcend 220 mSATA 128GB SSD NOK 334.- 1 x Kingston KC600 256GB SSD mSATA NOK 404.- 1 x Verbatim Vi550 S3 256GB 2.5 inch SATA NOK 294.- for a total of NOK 1032.-
2024-07-21: and the power supply is broken now. Unloaded I get almost 12V out of it, but connected to the machine it only shows about 4.5 V. The PSU is model WA-36A12R, it delivers 12V 3A (36W), and has positive on center pin. I ordered a new psu as well.
2024-07-21: c2 - try fsck

re-try mount
root@kg-core2:~ # mount /dev/da5p2 /mnt
2024-07-21: anyway, I ordered a couple of replacement SSDs.
2024-07-21: c2 - when connected into a msata - sata adapter and with a sata to usb adapter, the SMART info from the SSD looks fine

2024-07-21: it looks like the machine stopped recognizing the internal SSD (msata).
2024-06-01: today the machine was off. Powered it on, had to connect a usb keyboard and press F1 to continue. The machine appears fine.
2019-11-25: bios - upgrade to P1.90 - now, the machine won't boot. It loads the kernel, then sits there. Ah - user error. console output stops when the kernel boots.
2019-11-25: power on after power outage - had to connect a monitor and usb keyboard, and do "press F1 to continue". Went into bios and saved setting that seemed to fix it.
2019-08-21: power on - had to power on the machine after a power outage late last night. It wouldn't start right away - see FreeBSD page.
2016-10-05: an unscheduled power outage this evening required a power on of the machine after power was restored.
2016-01-23: details on the external drive (Seagate Backup Plus Slim 2 TB, usb 3.0) from /var/log/messages:

in case it is needed in the future.
2016-01-17: even if the stick booted, I was stuck with a blank screen and an unresponsive keyboard - no go. So I used another machine and the msata to sata adapter. The Intel SSD firmware update tool booted, and told me that the firmware on the SSD was up to date.
2016-01-17: Next I used my workstation to write Intel's SSD firmware update tool to a usb stick:
tingo@kg-core1$ sudo dd if=./issdfut_2.1.1.iso of=/dev/da0 bs=4M 8+1 records in 8+1 records out 35651584 bytes transferred in 3.482813 secs (10236433 bytes/sec)
afterwards, disktype says:
root@kg-core1# disktype /dev/da0 --- /dev/da0 Character device, size 7.453 GiB (8002732032 bytes) ISO9660 file system Volume name "boot" Application "MKISOFS ISO9660/HFS/UDF FILESYSTEM BUILDER & CDRECORD CD/DVD/BluRay CREATOR (C) 1993 E.YOUNGDALE (C) 1997 J.PEARSON/J.SCHILLING" Data size 33.40 MiB (35026944 bytes, 17103 blocks of 2 KiB) El Torito boot record, catalog at 27 Bootable non-emulated image, starts at 28, preloads 2 KiB Platform 0x00 (x86), System Type 0x00 (Empty) ISOLINUX boot loader
ok.
2016-01-17: I connected the Intel 525 mSATA SSD to a msata-to-SATA adapter, which I connected to a sata-to-usb adapter and connected it to my workstation. smartctl says:

good.
2015-11-10: bios - uefi - newest bios available is version 1.50, date 11/10/2015, with comment "Improve memory compatibility. (for N3000-NUC)".
2015-09-22: I got a pickup message, and fetched the package from Dustinhome at PIB Rimi Trondheimsveien in the evening.
2015-09-20: I ordered 2 x Intel 525 Series mSATA 120GB mSATA SATA-600 ([5010665987]https://www.dustinhome.no/product/5010665987/525-series-msata) from Dustinhome at NOK 559.- plus VAT each,almost NOK 699.- each. One of them is going to be (internal) storage for this machine. I also ordered a Samsung M3 Portable 1TB black (5010673971) at NOK 578.75. I might use it as external storage for this machine.
2015-09-11: bios - uefi - it looks like version 1.30 from 31.7.2015 is the newest version now.
2015-09-11: testing - connecting the machine to network, usb mouse and keyboard , and HDMI (I used the port closest to the power connector) and power, then powered it on. After a few tries, found out that F2 brings you into UEFI. Reports from UEFI main screen: UEFI Version: N3000-NUC P1.30, Processor type: Intel Celeron N3000 @ 1.04 GHz, Processor speed: 1040 MHz, Microcode update: 406C3/34C, Memory: 16384 MB with 256 MB Shared Memory and 2 MB GIT memory
2015-09-11: storage - I have a Kingston HyperX Fury 240 GB SSD, SHFS37A/240G. Looks like the firmware is 583ABBF0. I mounted the SSD in the holder mounted on the bottom plate, I had to remove the holder first to be able to fit all screws on the SSD (one screw is too close to a mounting post). I connected the cable to the SSD, and the two cables (sata and power) to the motherboard. I had to juggle the cables a bit to get the bottom plate on again.
2015-09-11: memory - the memory package is labeled KTA-MB1600LK2/16G, and each SO-DIMM has "1.35V" written on it. I removed the bottom plate (4 screws) and inserted one SO-DIMM in each slot.
2015-09-11: On my way home from work, I picked up the package from Proshop at my local PIB (Rimi Trondheimsveien).
2015-09-10: I got a message with a tracking number for the package from Proshop.
2015-09-09: storage - I already have a 240GB SSD which is unused.
2015-09-09: memory - I ordered a kit of 2 x 8GB Kingston DDR3L SO-DIMM (2452884) from Proshop for NOK 855.- plus shipping NOK 125.- and got an order confirmation right away.
2015-09-09: I bought a ASRock BeeBox N3000 barebone (135128) from Digital Impuls for NOK 1695.- I am going to experiment with virtualization on this machine. The machine is fanless, and supports up to 16 GB memory (2 x DDR3L SO-DIMM).
