JdeBP<p>The <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/RaspberryPi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RaspberryPi</span></a> hurdle that <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/OpenBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenBSD</span></a> fell at was its installer.</p><p>Despite it presenting two different partition table editors, I couldn't persuade it to just simply use the already existing single UFS volume that was already there. It just does not seem to cater for the idea that one might want to install to the same removable DASD that one is using, with boot, system, and swap as already defined. It either led me down a path where it zapped the existing partition table, and all of the install files, or demanded that there be another solid-state medium to install to.</p><p>Which is sad, because a Pi with just a TF card and a single purpose is still a significant use case.</p><p>Whereas in NetBSD's sysinst, choosing to install to the same system is the first option on its third menu, after picking the installer language and choosing to install.</p><p>This is a 2 horse race being comfortably won by <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/NetBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NetBSD</span></a>, currently. I've not tried <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreeBSD</span></a> yet.</p><p><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/PartitionTables" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PartitionTables</span></a></p>
JdeBP<p>The firmware on a <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/RaspberryPi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RaspberryPi</span></a> 4 does not mind if one changes the partition types of the <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreeBSD</span></a> and <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/OpenBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenBSD</span></a> FAT volumes to EFI system, matching <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/NetBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NetBSD</span></a> in spirit if not in modern partitioning scheme.</p><p>OpenBSD again almost fell at the hurdle here. It is extraordinarily sensitive to the status of its UFS1 partition. Touch it, or attempt to use a fresh one made from scratch, and its booloader thinks that it is talking to an esp device instead of to an sd device, and fails. This is a very strange dependency.</p><p>NetBSD, in contrast, did not bat an eyelid when I splatted about 5GiB of home directory, dotfiles, and tooling onto its UFS1 volume, using pax on another machine which had the TF card in a card reader.</p><p>NetBSD also auto-fixes the backup copy of the EFI partition table after its device re-sizing step. It didn't bat an eyelid, again, when I adjusted the initial card myself ahead of time using FreeBSD's <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/gpart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gpart</span></a> recover.</p><p><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/UEFI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UEFI</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/PartitionTables" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PartitionTables</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/pax" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pax</span></a></p>
JdeBP<p>On the subject of keyboards and monitors:</p><p>Obviously I have a KVM. The ability to switch without re-cabling is a boon. I might have touched a rack-mount in my time. (-:</p><p>But the <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/RaspberryPi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RaspberryPi</span></a> bootstrap's initial stages are very sensitive to KVMs. If the monitor is not "there" when the GPU checks for it, it will proceed without a display.</p><p>Likewise, a <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/USB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USB</span></a> HID keyboard that is behind a hub, which is how KVMs mainly make things look to hosts, is tricky.</p><p>I'm also seeing a problem with strange phantom keypresses, the investigation of which I'm postponing. The current suspect is that this is a "Multimedia" keyboard with 2 interfaces on the bus, the 2nd handling the consumer and system page keycodes. It might be something else entirely, though.</p><p><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/KVM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KVM</span></a></p>
JdeBP<p>This is good, because installing and using <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/TianoCore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TianoCore</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/UEFI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UEFI</span></a> firmware in place of u-boot seems to be the only way to get the <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/OpenBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenBSD</span></a> boot loader to recognize the <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/RaspberryPi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RaspberryPi</span></a>'s on-board display and a USB keyboard.</p><p>It is otherwise insistent on using the UART, which makes it impossible to press that "any" key to get the boot loader to stop so that one can type the magic incantation to get the kernel proper — in its turn — to use the display and keyboard. It too defaults to using the UART.</p><p>This is a Pi 4 in a PiHut "modular" case, still resembling that <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Blakes7" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Blakes7</span></a> prop. It's not designed for DB9 sockets, but it has HDMI and USB holes, plus optional plastic shields for covering them to just let power and Ethernet in when the Pi is in production.</p><p>Maintenance with just a keyboard and monitor is the goal. OpenBSD barely cleared this first hurdle of controlling its boot loader.</p><p>(It fell at a subsequent hurdle, which is why I'm now trying <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/NetBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NetBSD</span></a> and <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreeBSD</span></a>.)</p><p><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/DASD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DASD</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/PartitionTables" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PartitionTables</span></a></p>
