OK. I went back and resinstalled following the instructions on the sourceforge website. Specifically I did not extract the imag and then burn but used the procedure recomended
"Do not decompress but write the .img.xz image in a single step using Etcherto SD card: https://etcher.io"
Still a few issues, see below, but managed to install a docker container and run a plex server...
