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...

@josephholsten @Toasterson @marcan @lina @AsahiLinux @Raspberry_Pi @geerlingguy
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)
