USB boot NBSD on RPi3?

Fri Dec 01, 2017 3:22 pm

Does this NetBSD OS boot via USB on a RPi3?

I tried adding program_usb_boot_mode=1 to config.txt but it doesn't even start to boot in my experience, I tried with 2017-11-10-netbsd-raspi-earmv6hf on a pendrive today.

Yes, previously set up & running Raspbian & 2 other O/S via usb pendrives.

Edit: Tested & runs OK from my microSD card, (but just doesn't boot from pendrive).
