1.6 jsg 42: <p>
1.12 kettenis 43: The install media includes firmware required to boot the Pine 64/64+
1.30 kettenis 44: and Raspberry Pi 3.
1.6 jsg 45:
46: <p>
47: The Raspberry Pi 3 requires closed but redistributable files on the
1.12 kettenis 48: system disk to load into the VC4 GPU which starts the ARM cores. By
49: default the boot ROM will only try to load these files off an SD card.
1.6 jsg 50: These files are present in the install media but there is no driver
1.12 kettenis 51: for SD/MMC yet so a USB disk drive and manual steps are required. To
52: load the firmware off the SD card and have the root disk on USB after
53: installing OpenBSD reboot and interrupt U-Boot before the timeout
1.7 jsg 54: expires and instruct U-Boot to prefer USB over the SD card:

1.6 jsg 62:
63: <p>
1.32 ! tj 64: The Raspberry Pi 4 is only supported when using EDK2-based UEFI firmware.
! 65: By default the boot ROM will only try to load the firmware off an SD card.
! 66: As with the Raspberry Pi 3, there is no SD/MMC driver yet, but there are
! 67: no manual steps needed to boot from a USB disk drive.
1.30 kettenis 68:
69: <p>
1.25 kettenis 70: Ampere eMAG and AMD Opteron systems come with a UEFI firmware in ROM
71: and can boot off SATA or USB devices without board specific boot files
72: on the system disk.
1.12 kettenis 73:
1.6 jsg 74: <p>
1.25 kettenis 75: Most other machines load their firmware from the boot media and
76: require additional steps to create bootable install media. See the
