How to install OpenBSD on the PBP?
#1
Hi,

I have tried all day to install OpenBSD 7.2, 6.9 and 6.7 on my Pinebook Pro.
When I flash the installer*.img or miniroot*.img onto my usb-stick or SD card
and apply the necessary dtb and u-boot patching described in https://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/7.2/...TALL.arm64,
the PBP starts into boot(8) and no matter what I try (eg. `set tty fb0` and/or `boot /bsd.rd` and/or `machine dtb ...`)
I get a flashing screen and nothing happens.

1: Do I need to buy a serial cable to install it or am I doing something wrong?
2: Does anyone have a working installer or image that works without a serial cable?
3: Is there some other way of installing it instead, eg. over ssh with an ethernet adapter (Pinephone USB-C dongle)?
