And I can confirm that the armhf net-install of 11.2, will not boot on a pi. That is assuming dd can write a valid .iso to an sd card just as it writes the raspios .img files. So a good .iso should, and has worked just fine several times, but two writes of the .iso have refused to look at the card after the first green flash of the disk activity led. Then I found my card reader was on strike, so I drove out to the other side of town to walmart and bought two more readers, along with a keyboard cuz the space bar on this one is getting funkity, and 2 more 64G micro-cards. I rewrote the debian net-install image, then inspected it with fdisk, to discover the debian iso I had just written to it for /dev/sdk, partition 1 while a dos (vfat to linux) image is also an EFI image, the first one that pi has ever seen. So Steffen, if you want me to try your distro, respin that .iso w/o the EFI. The pi doesn't take more than a 10 millisecond glance at this .iso. > Cheers, Gene Heskett.
