You will probably have to replace Tow-boot. At this point, I would just zero the SPI ram. I have NetBSD working with what must be the U-boot from the "Debian Desktop" install that originally came with my first PBP.
According to the NetBSD ARM mailing list, we should get bootable images (again) soon, which will come with a working U-boot. When that happens, it'll be here http://nycdn.netbsd.org/pub/arm/netbsd-9...m-aarch64/
There already are generic bootable images for evbarm, don't really know what do we benefit from a pbp specific image.
The main problem here is to make a newly installed system to boot after sysinst. I don't think an image is going to help here.
ps: zeroing SPI will render laptop unbootable at all.
