The lack of the kernel configuration files is intentional (-: They will
appear when the machines are a bit more usable.

At the moment, Octane will run using a serial console, and the onboard
SCSI controllers. However, the onboard interface is not supported yet,
and should you be the happy owner of a PCI Cardcage extension, or a PCI
Shoehorn XIO card, their PCI devices will not configure correctly yet.

As long as the machine can not talk over the network, running BSD on it
is quite useless.

Please give us a bit more time to make progress on this!

PS: and before people ask, here is the log of bsd.rd booting on one of
my Octanes:
