(Mainly, just for info.)
Looking to try out NBSD on my RPi3, which is set to boot from USB - NBSD failed to boot. ![]() Loading it onto a microSD card does work though, but I would like it to run from USB, & to use the built in wifi. ![]() (2017-11-10-netbsd-raspi-earmv6hf.img used)

Hi, the info about converting to booting from USB is on the RPi forum, here's a quick run through.
Code:
echo program_usb_boot_mode=1 | sudo tee -a /boot/config.txt Code:
vcgencmd otp_dump | grep 17 Quote:
Put the NBSD image onto your microSD card, & boot it up. The NBSD image for RPi3 is in Japanese so, change the encoding in /etc/wscons.conf Code:
encoding uk Code:
setxkbmap gb Code:
export LANG=en_GB.UTF8 You should now be running NBSD from microSD card. ![]() ########## TinyCore Linux is another O/S that I tried out booting from USB, it loads to ram, & if I remember, wifi worked OK on it. ########## P.S. Once the OTP bit is set, you can boot from microSD cards or from USB.
