45: Raspberry Pi 3 and Raspberry Pi 4.
1.6 jsg 46:
47: <p>
1.40 sthen 48: The Raspberry Pi boards require closed but redistributable files on the
49: system disk to load into the VC4 GPU which starts the ARM cores.
50: By default the boot ROM on Raspberry Pi 3 and older versions on
51: Raspberry Pi 4 will only try to load these files off an SD card.
1.33 jsg 52: To load the firmware off the SD card and have the root disk on USB after
1.40 sthen 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:

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

60: U-Boot> boot
1.20 tj 61: </pre>
1.6 jsg 62:
63: <p>
1.40 sthen 64: Some Raspberry Pi models that do not work with the included U-Boot
65: (e.g. Raspberry Pi 400) can instead be booted using
66: <a href="https://github.com/pftf/RPi4">EDK2-based UEFI firmware</a>.
67: The simplest way to use this is to install the firmware on an SD
68: card and install the OS on USB.
1.30 kettenis 69:
70: <p>
1.50 tj 71: Apple systems need to have a UEFI environment installed before
72: OpenBSD can be booted. This can be done by running the
1.49 kettenis 73: <a href="https://asahilinux.org/2022/03/asahi-linux-alpha-release">
1.50 tj 74: Asahi Linux installer</a>. Afterwards you can boot the installer from
1.49 kettenis 75: a USB device connected to one of the type-C USB ports on the machine.
76:
77: <p>
1.25 kettenis 78: Ampere eMAG and AMD Opteron systems come with a UEFI firmware in ROM
79: and can boot off SATA or USB devices without board specific boot files
80: on the system disk.
1.12 kettenis 81:
1.6 jsg 82: <p>
1.25 kettenis 83: Most other machines load their firmware from the boot media and
84: require additional steps to create bootable install media. See the
