Put your favourite OS (NetBSD, yes??) on an SD card.
If you can boot to it, erase the eMMC. `dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rdk3 bs=8m` or Linux command to fit.
If you cannot boot to the SD card, you must switch off the eMMC, and switch it back on after the SD starts booting. Be careful: the PBP is very fragile, flimsy, and loose (important) parts fly out if you're not extremely careful. Then, erase the eMMC as above.
Thanks "KC9UDX!
The question is, which release do I need for the PBP?
https://wiki.netbsd.org/ports/evbarm/
It is stated in the link "However, the single GENERIC/GENERIC64 kernel now supports a range of machines..."
BUT
it doesn't point to that "GENERIC/GENERIC64" file I can download.
WHERE do I find this "GENERIC/GENERIC64" file?
If your suggestion doesn't work, honest to goodness, I'll rename the PBP to PAIN BOOK PRO.
I FAIL TO SEE WHY it doesn't boot manjaro from the SD card I etched and I FAIL TO SEE WHY it doesn't turn on from battery!
Thanks!
