This is just an image that's meant to be flashed to SD card and has everything setup already. No need to run p-boot-conf.
Yes, I should have been more clear: I was following the p-boot install instructions on the website before you posted this ready-made image. Nevermind, it's a bit off-topic for this thread and probably beyond my skill level.

One question, could glodroid work with p-boot?
Apparently it is in a very rough state right now but it would like to try it out once it gets more polished.
RE: 9-distro multi-boot image for Pinephone 1.2 (incl. 3GiB variant) - ikidd - 09-09-2020
I've dd or etchered this a few times now, and I can't get gparted or kde partition manager to resize the btrfs partition. There's always bad tree blocks during the partition check prior to resizing that error it. I've done a scrub on the mounted partition and it says it fixes errors, but still fails.
Any ideas how to expand this so the operating systems on the image don't die within a few minutes from disk space issues?

RE: 9-distro multi-boot image for Pinephone 1.2 (incl. 3GiB variant) - SpoofyKid - 09-10-2020
I was able to get all OSs running on my Braveheart without any issues. Why was it that this wasn't recommended for the Braveheart?
I haven't tried expanding the partition yet; something I'll try later.
Thanks for the image - it was fantastic being able to try all OSs on one SD card without having to go through the hassle of flashing them all individually.
p-boot really works a treat!

I have to add support to p-boot to automatically load the correct DTB based on auto-detection of Pinephone variant, before this will properly support Braveheart.

Is it possible to flash this multi-image to the eMMC? I have version 1.1, so I can't really test it yet.

And now it's a 13 distro image.

https://megous.com/dl/tmp/multi5.mp4
The image size is the same, despite the addition on 4 new postmarket OS variants.

Very cool, megous. I'll have to try this one when I get a pinephone. Maybe the kernel support will look a little better then. If not, maybe I can help.

P-boot is impressive! I´m looking forward to trying this on my braveheart!
