Re: NetBSD/aarch64 on 8 GB Raspberry Pi 4B?



Good news - a HEAD / latest image with the RPi UEFI 1.14 boots on both an older 4 gig RPI4 and on a new 8 gig RPi4 when limited to 3 gigs.

Not so good news - after using the menu to disable the 3 gig limit, the kernel hangs:

What's interesting is that it can't be booted again after resetting unless the RPI_EFI.fd file in the MS-DOS partition is re-copied from the original. Is this because of how the configuration menus save the settings?

A diff of the original and the bad RPI_EFI.fd files show a lot of differences.
