Hi, Recently I got a Banana Pi R1 (the one with 5 RJ 45 slots). Physically it looks like it has 1 RJ45 slot in one circuit and the 4 others in another.
As a test I ran raspbian OS on it and it worked. For OpenBSD I got it to get to to boot prompt and it loads the kernel but from then on it switches to com0 which I don't have set up on this board. Is there any way to make the HDMI vga work? As it boots blindly I suspect it either panics or the RJ45 devices are not detected as I modified the bsd.rd kernel by placing a /auto_install.conf file into the root ala autoinstall(8), and watched the network traffic emanating from this computer. None afaict. I'M wondering if there is any hints I could try to see any activity from this little device? I don't have another armv7 device so compiling is a nono, however I can extract the ramdisk from bsd.rd and modify it and put it back into bsd.rd. I could donate this BPI but I'd rather donate money. It cost around what I usually donate every half year so it's only 3 months before I do a paypal donation. Regards, -peter
