Yep, thin instructions with a high chance of failure, too much fun! We bravely,carefully (foolishly?) plugged it all up and got it running Monday night. There are good instructions posted now.

You can make the needed serial cable. We sacrificed an old db9 cable and soldered on the female PWM. You can watch the boot sequence from there. You can also FTP and SSH into it to poke around more.

I had my first Labview experience Wednesday, just trying to get something going on it.
