Is anyone doing anything with the Quartz64 board from Pine64?
The Pine64 Wiki suggests that you can just download a -current install
image and it will work:
<https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/Quartz64#NetBSD>
This doesn't work for me, if there are other steps needed then someone
should either add them to the description in the Pine64 wiki or replace
the description with a link to better instructions in our wiki.
The Tianocore firmware images that jmcneill@ has created do work for me
but I can't work out how to combine that with a NetBSD boot image or
configure the firmware to tell it to boot NetBSD.
It could be useful to know if people are working on any NetBSD drivers
for the RK3566 so that we don't duplicate effort.

As far as I understand, the tianocore image contains U-Boot and EFI
code. It should look for a DOS partition (or a partition with the EFI
GPT type) and look for a boot loader (in EFI/BOOT/bootaa64.efi). So the
easiest thing to try would be to copy the tianocore image to an sd card
and add a DOS partition and fill it with the files from the DOS
partition in arm64.img. Hopefully when you put the sd card into the
Quartz you will see the NetBSD boot loader when you boot it up. If this
works, then copy the NetBSD partition from the arm64.img to the SD card
and things should work. Or make a new NetBSD partition and copy the
files by hand.
Maybe what is expected is to put the tianocore image on an sd card
and the installation image on an eMMC device, still doesn't boot
NetBSD by default.
I do get a UEFI menu on the serial console if I wait long enough, had
been powering it off too soon, no idea what to do with it though.
That I don't know. Hopefully if there's an EFI partition on the disk,
the UEFI loader will boot it.
There's a slight complication (I think) in that the tianocore images are
only 34Mb when unzipped. So that means if you copy the tianocore image
to an sdcard there won't appear to be space to add a DOS partition or a
NetBSD partition. There's probably a way to expand the disk image, and
thus move the gpt partition table, but I don't know what it is.
The "gpt resizedisk" command looks like it should expand the disk image
but it doesn't seem to work on the tianocore one, I just get an error
that I need to recover the partition table if I try to add a DOS or FFS
partition.
(I forgot to copy the list on my first message).
Did you increase the size of the file first? There's probably (almost
certainly) an easier way to do this but these commands worked for me:

HTH,

(in case someone else inds this via google, these commands will add an
ffs partition. gpt will create a partition at the very start of the disk
[a whole 30 sectors] so you have to add two ffs partitions and then
delete the first. Once again, I'm sure there's an easier way to do this.
Probably just adding -s and the remaining sectors in the disk/image
would work -- 1837023 in this example).
