1.12 kettenis 48: The install media includes firmware required to boot the Pine 64/64+
49: and Raspberry Pi.
1.6 jsg 50: </p>
51:
52: <p>
53: The Raspberry Pi 3 requires closed but redistributable files on the
1.12 kettenis 54: system disk to load into the VC4 GPU which starts the ARM cores. By
55: 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
1.12 kettenis 57: for SD/MMC yet so a USB disk drive and manual steps are required. To
58: load the firmware off the SD card and have the root disk on USB after
59: installing OpenBSD reboot and interrupt U-Boot before the timeout
1.7 jsg 60: expires and instruct U-Boot to prefer USB over the SD card:
1.6 jsg 61: </p>
1.7 jsg 62:
63: <blockquote><pre>
64: Hit any key to stop autoboot: 0
65: U-Boot> setenv boot_targets usb0 mmc0 pxe dhcp
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.
1.12 kettenis 74: </p>
75:
1.6 jsg 76: <p>
1.12 kettenis 77: All other machines that lack UEFI firmware require additional steps to
78: create bootable install media. See the

80: OpenBSD/arm64 snapshot installation instructions</a> for further details.
