Hello Greg,
This, what I have posted as answer work for me on BBB (BeagleBone
Black) seamlessly.
I did not try it on Sabre Automotive, but as we speak, I just
straightened out the optimal local.conf for it (with very rich
networking services on the top of Linux), and I am 100% sure the above
initramfs methodology will work on Sabre Automotive as well.
I have no idea about specifics on RPI 3. Sorry for that.
Best Regads,
Zoran
