UPDATED (June 2021): 17-distro multi-boot image for Pinephone (incl. 3GiB variant)
I selected the first distro, Arch, and end up at a screen with:

Arch Linux 5.10.0-rc5...

alarm login:

I assume the login may be root/1111, but I am unable to get a keyboard. Anyone have a suggestion?

Edit1: Hm. Now I've booted the second distro, also Arch, and while I only needed the 1111 passcode to get in, I can't get through the initialization, because I can't get a keyboard, which I need to put in the wifi password.

Edit2: These have to be distribution specific issues, because Mobian is giving me a keyboard, though it's not recognizing ethernet through the convergence dock when the dock is powered. I gather Mobian and Arch are supposed to be the two best working distros on this phone, so I want to see if I can get them both going.

Edit3: The login for that first purely CLI Arch distro is alarm/1111, which you can put in with a USB keyboard via the dock. To update that you have to run `pacman-keys --init` followed by `pacman-key --populate archlinuxarm`. Then you can update the system. For that second Arch distro, keyboard via the dock allowed me to upgrade Arch, which then gave me access to an onscreen keyboard.
