Status of RPi 3 (b) ?
I just picked up an RPI3. I guess I should have waited. A few congenitally
systemd-infected distros work on it, but not much else. FreeBSD was a
notable exception. It seems to work, but I managed to hork up the SD card
jacking around with ZFS before I could test X11 and other stuff. No big
deal.
However, before I start over, how about NetBSD? When I tried to boot the
gzimg on the SD card it just came up with what looked like a multicolor
test pattern, but no boot etc... That was just a quick and dirty test. I
could have been doing any number of things wrong. For one, I wasn't using
-current.
My real question is: Does NetBSD work well enough on the RPi3 to make it
worth trying ? Also, could one of the anointed ones update the RPI wiki
for the RPi3 ? There is only a brief mention of the RPi3 in the firmware
section (nothing that helpful) and another user in the comment section is
seeing the exact same thing as me.
