I'm quite sure the current (stable) raspberry2 image won't work on Raspberry Pi 3. When the image is built, a u-boot (from u-boot-rpi package) is placed at the beginning of the disk image. This u-boot is marked specifically for rpi_2. There is 2 additional u-boots (in the same package) for rpi_3: one 32-bit (armhf) and one 64-bit (arm64). I attempted to build the arm64 image for raspberry3, but have not quite gotten it to boot yet. My current work in progress is here: https://github.com/freedombox/freedom-maker/pull/112 It also requires a patch to current vmdebootstrap. So perhaps it would be better to just build an armhf image for raspberry3. -- James
