Booting CURRENT from PinebookPro SD over 10-RELEASE on eMMC



Hello -- I boot NetBSD 10-RELEASE from eMMC on my PinebookPro. All good there -- loving it.

Now I want to try CURRENT. I grabbed a daily HEAD image and used dd to write to an SD, followed by the rksd_loader.img for the PinebookPro (from pkgsrc) -- the same steps as with 10-RELEASE.

With the imaged SD in the PinebookPro SD slot, it should boot before the eMMC. I verified this because that SD card used to have Debian for an RPI3 (and of course failed to boot). Disappointingly, that same SD now with CURRENT won't boot. I think I'm about to learn some details about u-boot etc :)

I tried to catch the messages when u-boot starts but couldn't see anything obvious. I couldn't figure out how to break into the u-boot cli and diagnose.

I then tried the same CURRENT image with a USB memory stick on the USB2 port (right side) and still no luck booting. I know booting this way works because I can still boot Manjaro Linux (before the eMMC boots) that I have on another USB memory stick.

Can someone help me understand why I can't boot another image of NetBSD on the PinebookPro SD or USB while I have NetBSD 10-RELEASE on the eMMC? Specifically, can someone guide me on the right u-boot cli commands to diagnose?

Thanks - Joel
