53: The Raspberry Pi 3 requires closed but redistributable files on the
54: system disk to load into the VC4 GPU which starts the ARM cores.
1.7 jsg 55: By default the boot ROM will only try to load these files off an SD card.
1.6 jsg 56: These files are present in the install media but there is no driver
57: for SD/MMC yet so a USB disk drive and manual steps are required.
1.7 jsg 58: To load the firmware off the SD card and have the root disk on USB
59: after installing OpenBSD reboot and interrupt U-Boot before the timeout
60: expires and instruct U-Boot to prefer USB over the SD card:

66: U-Boot> saveenv
67: U-Boot> boot
68: </pre></blockquote>
1.6 jsg 69:
70: <p>
71: Opteron A1100 machines on the other hand come with a UEFI firmware
72: that includes a device tree and can boot off SATA or USB devices without
73: board specific boot files on the system disk.

80: OpenBSD/arm64 bundles various platforms sharing the 64-bit ARM
81: architecture. Due to the fact that there are many System on a
82: Chips (SoC) around, OpenBSD/arm64 differentiates between various
83: SoCs and may have a different level of support between them.
