@whitekiba I mean I don't look for computational efficiency....
OFC modern crypto needs a lot of processing power...
But I'd even consider doing a #ramdisk and making a script that #wget's #dropbear as a working hack...
Even if that makes it a sort-of "#netlive" [ #netinstaller meets #live #linux] workaround...
#Linux #Live #netinstaller #netlive #dropbear #wget #ramdisk
Once again diving into debian-installer to learn how to provide d-i ISOs targeting the missing architectures on #Trisquel 11.0, #Aramo
Ready to go deep into the rabbit hole! :blobcatpopcorn:
#trisquel #aramo #arm64 #armfh #ppc64el #GNU #FreeSoftware #netinstaller

And whilst all previous versions of the #RasberryPi just use the bootcode.bin on a fat32 filesystem to startup, the #Pi4, #CM4 & #Pi400 have their bootcode as seperate #EEPROM which also houses the #NetInstaller system:

@Toasterson Well, the @Raspberry_Pi doesn't actually have a #UEFI, but a simple & minimal ROM that - as @geerlingguy showcased - merely fits a #NetInstaller:

Instead of UEFI, on the #Pi4 - like the original #RaspberryPi - the Broadcom SoC looks for a bootcode at a specific adress and then proceeds to load the initramfs and kernel to boot.
Personally I wished all devices used #LinuxBoot (aka. #NERF)
