   The Pine64 currently requires an image based on a non-redistributable
   boot0 file from Allwinner to be installed on the system disk.
   This will hopefully be resolved by a replacement in a future U-Boot
   release.  The install media does not include these boot images or
   a Pine64 device tree.

   The Raspberry Pi 3 requires closed but redistributable files on the
   system disk to load into the VC4 GPU which starts the ARM cores.
   The boot ROM will only try to load these files off an SD card unless a
   special config.txt value is set to irreversibly enable USB boot mode.
   These files are present in the install media but there is no driver
   for SD/MMC yet so a USB disk drive and manual steps are required.

   <p>
   Opteron A1100 machines on the other hand come with a UEFI firmware
   that includes a device tree and can boot off SATA or USB devices without
   board specific boot files on the system disk.
