Hi Dan,

There are two serials; I assume you're talking about the USB one, since that's where we're waiting for the correct policy upstream. Either way, if you're confused, that's an oversight, and thanks for mentioning it!

There's an issue in that if the dev kit reboots early during the first boot after reflashing, ssh keys will not get generated. You can either:

- reflash and make sure the dev kit boots fully for the first time,
- or remove the keys in /etc/sshd (they should be empty anyway), restart and let it fully boot.
