45: (Raspberry Pi 3) and Socionext SCA11.

50: and Raspberry Pi.
1.6 jsg 51: </p>

53: <p>
54: The Raspberry Pi 3 requires closed but redistributable files on the
1.12 kettenis 55: system disk to load into the VC4 GPU which starts the ARM cores. By
56: default the boot ROM will only try to load these files off an SD card.
1.6 jsg 57: These files are present in the install media but there is no driver
1.12 kettenis 58: for SD/MMC yet so a USB disk drive and manual steps are required. To
59: load the firmware off the SD card and have the root disk on USB after
60: installing OpenBSD reboot and interrupt U-Boot before the timeout
1.7 jsg 61: expires and instruct U-Boot to prefer USB over the SD card:

72: Opteron A1100 machines on the other hand come with a UEFI firmware
73: that includes a device tree and can boot off SATA or USB devices without
74: board specific boot files on the system disk.
1.12 kettenis 75: </p>
76:
1.6 jsg 77: <p>
1.12 kettenis 78: All other machines that lack UEFI firmware require additional steps to
79: create bootable install media. See the
