zmomentHi!  I'm installing a netboot/mini.iso as suggested by tuxd3v and in the guided partitioning, the EFI System Partition defaults to 536.9 MB.  32GB should be more than enough or is there anything special about this one?16:52
zmomentwell, I went with 256M17:09
Tenkawawhat board you installing on?17:12

zmomentyeah, I was guessing that, but still, played on the safe side.17:18
tuxd3vzmoment, what is the command lind command that you are using to boot the mini.iso?21:56
tuxd3vI am having problems booting it :(21:56
tuxd3vmaybe I am missing some package..21:57

zmomentsetting up qemu usually takes me much time...23:43
tuxd3vzmoment, thanks23:45
tuxd3vI discovered that I was using the wrong bios file :/23:45
tuxd3vI was trying aarch64 with the 32bits EFI bios :/23:46
zmomentcan you boot fine now?23:46
tuxd3vI intead of disk for the mini.iso, I use -cdrom path/to/mini.iso23:47
tuxd3vand then23:47
tuxd3v-boot order=cd23:47
tuxd3vto start the instalation23:47
tuxd3vI am still installing :(23:47
tuxd3vI choosed 1 EFI partition and a / partition..23:48
tuxd3vyour instalation should have being faster than mine23:49
tuxd3vI am with -machine virt but only with -smp 123:49
tuxd3vyou have a complete setup command :)23:50
tuxd3vzmoment, yeah I am booting fine the mini.iso, lets see the instalation.. I think it will not succeed due to the fact that the vda disk for / is too small :/23:54
tuxd3vzmoment, many thanks for the links for the EFI boot :)23:56
zmomentwell, it was my second try today, faster in SSD with pre-allocation, yesterday it was slower, but it still takes a lot of time.  I also used a 256M swap partition.  Then, when booting, it stopped at the uefi prompt.  If yours also stop I already know the solution.  Then it stopped at the grub prompt.  Done.  Now, it stops at the elongind.  I chose the runit init system, don't know if it's the problem.  Don't know what to do.  Maybe23:56
zmomentreinstall again.23:56
zmomentI'm glad to have helped!23:56
tuxd3vzmoment, yeah you indeed helped! :)23:57
tuxd3vI am trying sysVinit to see if it goes well :)23:57
