1.25 kettenis 39: AMD Opteron A1100, Ampere eMAG, Marvell ARMADA 7K/8K, Rockchip RK3328/RK3399,

1.6 jsg 42: <p>
1.40 sthen 43: The install media includes firmware required to boot the Pine 64/64+,
44: Raspberry Pi 3 and Raspberry Pi 4.
1.6 jsg 45:
46: <p>
1.40 sthen 47: The Raspberry Pi boards require closed but redistributable files on the
48: system disk to load into the VC4 GPU which starts the ARM cores.
49: By default the boot ROM on Raspberry Pi 3 and older versions on
50: Raspberry Pi 4 will only try to load these files off an SD card.
1.33 jsg 51: To load the firmware off the SD card and have the root disk on USB after
1.40 sthen 52: installing OpenBSD, reboot and interrupt U-Boot before the timeout
1.7 jsg 53: expires and instruct U-Boot to prefer USB over the SD card:
54:

1.7 jsg 56: Hit any key to stop autoboot: 0
57: U-Boot> setenv boot_targets usb0 mmc0 pxe dhcp

59: U-Boot> boot
1.20 tj 60: </pre>
1.6 jsg 61:
62: <p>
1.40 sthen 63: Some Raspberry Pi models that do not work with the included U-Boot
64: (e.g. Raspberry Pi 400) can instead be booted using
65: <a href="https://github.com/pftf/RPi4">EDK2-based UEFI firmware</a>.
66: The simplest way to use this is to install the firmware on an SD
67: card and install the OS on USB.
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
