Re: Bananapi Pro Install

That was it! For some reason I connected invisible.ca with the Pinebook only. I downloaded and install the bananapi image and I am up and running!

origen$ uname -a
NetBSD origen 8.99.41 NetBSD 8.99.41 (GENERIC) #0: Sun May 19 19:06:53 UTC 2019  mkrepro%mkrepro.NetBSD.org@localhost:/usr/src/sys/arch/evbarm/compile/GENERIC evbarm

Now to setup pkgin and point to the repo. I'll be using this as a file server, replacing an old power-hungry PC, provided the external SATA connector works.
Thank you very much.

    I have no bananapi experience, but one of the NetBSD developers has been
    providing board-specific images.  I gather a fair bit of this has been
    folded into NetBSD proper, but that probably means -current, not 8.0.

    You might also try -current, unless you really need the stability of 8.
    But then again, -current may be more stable.
    
    Probably someone with actual bananapi clue will speak up.
