Re: Pinebook and NetBSD 8.99.39 [UPDATE]
Easiest way is to download the image to the SD card, then dd it to the eMMC: # dd if=arm64.img of=/dev/rld2c bs=1m conv=sync You can't "wreck" your Pinebook this way as it will always try to boot from SD card first. So after writing the image to eMMC, shutdown the computer, remove the SD card, and power it back on. If something goes wrong, plug the SD card back in and it will boot from that device when you power it back on.

Once booted, now do I "reflash" the internal drive to boot NetBSD without having to boot from the micro SD card? Just write the same image to the eMMC device that you put on the SD card, it will resize on first boot.

I am documenting every step of the way in order to make my journey, mistakes and all, available to other "not so savvy" Pinebook users. How do I install NetBSD directly onto my Pinebook? Do I use sysinst (per https://wiki.netbsd.org/ports/evbarm/install_using_sysinst/)? Before I "wreck" my Pinebook, do I select ld2 as the drive to partition and install? === MISC DATA === arm64# disklabel ld0 # /dev/rld0: type: SCSI disk: STORAGE DEVICE label: fictitious flags: removable bytes/sector: 512 sectors/track: 32 tracks/cylinder: 64 sectors/cylinder: 2048 cylinders: 1641 total sectors: 31116288 rpm: 3600 interleave: 1 trackskew: 0 cylinderskew: 0 headswitch: 0 # microseconds track-to-track seek: 0 # microseconds drivedata: 0 8 partitions: #sizeoffset fstype [fsize bsize cpg/sgs] a: 30657536458752 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl.224 - 15193*) b:262144196608 swap # (Cyl. 96 -223) c: 31116288 0 unused 0 0# (Cyl. 0 - 15193*) d: 31116288 0 unused 0 0# (Cyl. 0 - 15193*) e:163840 32768 MSDOS # (Cyl. 16 - 95) arm64# disklabel ld2 # /dev/rld2: type: ld disk: ld2 label: default label flags: bytes/sector: 512 sectors/track: 63 tracks/cylinder: 32 sectors/cylinder: 2016 cylinders: 1040 total sectors: 2097152 rpm: 3600 interleave: 1 trackskew: 0 cylinderskew: 0 headswitch: 0 # microseconds track-to-track seek: 0 # microseconds drivedata: 0 3 partitions: #sizeoffset fstype [fsize bsize cpg/sgs] a: 2097152 0 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 1040*) c: 2097152 0 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 1040*) disklabel: boot block size 0 disklabel: super block size 0 disklabel: partitions a and c overlap arm64# gpt show ld0 GPT not found, displaying data from MBR. start size index contents 0 1 MBR 1 32767 Unused 32768163840 1 MBR part 12 (active) 196608262144 Unused 458752 30657536 2 MBR part 169 arm64# gpt show ld2 gpt: /dev/rld2: map entry doesn't fit media: new start + new size < start + size (1 + 1f < a000 + 1d5) arm64# dmesg | grep ld [ 1.16] axpreg5 at axppmic0: eldo2 [ 2.737735] sdmmc1: autoconfiguration error: couldn't enable card: 60 [ 2.811871] ld2 at sdmmc2: <0x45:0x0100:DF4016:0x00:0xfe875b0b:0x000> [ 2.811871] ld2: 1024 MB, 1040 cyl, 32 head, 63 sec, 512 bytes/sect x 2097152 sectors [ 2.828746] ld0 at sdmmc0: <0x03:0x5344:SS16G:0x80:0x42ce3d51:0x122> [ 2.848748] ld0: 15193 MB, 7717 cyl, 64 head, 63 sec, 512 bytes/sect x 31116288 sectors [ 2.848748] ld2: mbr partition exceeds disk size [ 2.848748] ld2: 8-bit width, 200.000 MHz [ 2.876482] ld0: 4-bit width, High-Speed/SDR25, 50.000 MHz [ 7.617842] ld2: mbr partition exceeds disk size [ 7.627841] boot device: ld0 [ 7.627841] root on ld0a dumps on ld0b [ 424.699875] ld2: mbr partition exceeds disk size [ 424.709875] ld2: mbr partition exceeds disk size [ 431.049997] ld2: mbr partition exceeds disk size [ 431.059997] ld2: mbr partition exceeds disk size [ 431.059997] ld2: mbr partition exceeds disk size [ 431.14] ld2: mbr partition exceeds disk size [ 442.320213] ld2: mbr partition exceeds disk size [ 746.325984] ld2: mbr partition exceeds disk size [ 746.335984] ld2: mbr partition exceeds disk size [ 1592.422047] ld2: mbr partition exceeds disk size [ 1592.422047] ld2: mbr partition exceeds disk size [ 1679.653695] ld2: mbr partition exceeds disk size [ 1679.673697] ld2: mbr partition exceeds disk size [ 1684.513788] ld2: mbr partition exceeds disk size [ 1684.513788] ld2: mbr partition exceeds disk size [ 1684.563793] ld2: mbr partition exceeds disk size [ 1684.583793] ld2: mbr partition exceeds disk size [ 1684.583793] ld2: mbr partition exceeds disk size [ 1761.785290] ld2: mbr partition exceeds disk size [ 1778.945617] ld2: mbr partition exceeds disk size [ 1993.819664] ld2: mbr partition exceeds disk size arm64# mount /dev/ld0a on / type ffs (noatime, local) /dev/ld0e on /boot type msdos (local) kernfs on /kern type kernfs (local) ptyfs on /dev/pts type ptyfs (local) procfs on /proc type procfs (local) tmpfs on /var/shm type tmpfs (local) # sysinst What kind of system do you have? a: Raspberry PI >b: Other NetBSD/evbarm 8.99.39 This menu-driven tool is designed to help you install NetBSD to a hard disk, or upgrade an existing NetBSD
Pinebook and NetBSD 8.99.39
I just received my new 1080P 11inch (27.94 cm) Pinebook. It was pre-loaded with Ubuntu and KDE. While I like KDE, it seems a bit heavy. Ubuntu is ... ok, but I would rather have NetBSD and LXDE or Mate. I attempted to install NetBSD but ran into some problems. Most likely due to my incomplete understanding (see tag line below). 1. I downloaded the Pinebook image (NetBSD-evbarm-aarch64-201905120950Z-pinebook.img) from https://www.invisible.ca/arm/ 2. dd the image to my microSD card. 3. Inserted the micro SD into the SD slot of the Pinebook and booted. The first boot ended in a ==> prompt. Not sure what that was all about. Reboot produced the NetBSD "arm" boot processes; however, there was a problem. When presented with the login prompt I tried to type "root" but the right side of the keyboard acts like a number pad. Pressing "o" gives me the escape sequence for a "6" without the numlock engaged. Pressing shift "o" gets me a capital O while Fn + o gets me a "6." Questions: 1. Is there a way to make the keyboard a standard keyboard? 2. Once booted, now do I "reflash" the internal drive to boot NetBSD without having to boot from the micro SD card? using the "highly recommend" Etcher Ron Georgia “90% of my problems are due to ignorance, the other 10% is because I just don’t know any better.”
