tuxd3vzmoment, you are trying to get a rpi4 close environment right?00:10
tuxd3vI saw the cpu and smp :)00:10
zmomentYes.  In order to compile and also to try the qemu image on a RPi4 with FreeBSD, to check if it's a viable solution or not.00:11
tuxd3vI believe I will fell a slip above the keyboard :D 68% instalation, but with -smp 1 its very slow :/00:13
tuxd3vsometimes we still face some big waves :/01:30
tuxd3vzmoment, well I had to restart all the process.. :S01:31
tuxd3vI am now installing everything.. again but this time with a bigger disk ;)01:31
adhoctuxd3v: volumes on an arm64 machine02:14
adhocthis is something I have been giving a bit of thought to recently02:14
tuxd3vadhoc, you mean lvm?02:15
adhocno02:16
adhocjust filesystems on disks02:16
adhochow much disk should I throw at the arm64 box02:16
adhocor am I better off doing a few test runs02:17
tuxd3vwell I created a 1 GB disk, and almost at the end it got me, and I needed to restart all the process :/02:18
tuxd3vso this time I got a 2 GB disk, for a minimum install02:18
tuxd3vI am um qemu, with a virtual disk..02:18
tuxd3vit should use around 1 GB I am trying this time armhf02:19
tuxd3vit gave me a error again on 'select and install software', I rerun the task and its installing..02:44
tuxd3vprobably the mini.iso needs more than 256MB ram for running the installer and downloading and installing things..02:45
tuxd3vzmoment, I created a EFI partition, and created a /, no swap, but I am getting this:06:47
tuxd3vhttps://paste.debian.net/hidden/b86263f1/06:48
tuxd3vhe doesn't find the device..06:48
tuxd3vat some point I am droped in EFI shell, I need to look better at it tomorrow..06:49
tuxd3vI believe I succeeded the instalation with 320MB Ram06:49
tuxd3vwith 256 Mb it simply fails afetr some 5-7 hours..yeah :D06:50
tuxd3vafter*06:50
zmomenttuxd3v: so you're using armv7.  Is the QEMU_EFI file the correct one?17:05

zmomentand grub was not installed correctly, so also had to enter boot lines at the prompt17:09
zmomentthe / of the aarch64 system has 1.1GB used17:13
zmomentthe package apt-transport-ppa doesn't seem to be available for devuan-arm aarch64.  Is there any issue with it?17:55
