Install u-boot onto an sdcard or update u-boot to a newer binary and use an image or run an anaconda install via a pxe tree longer term we will need to provide a simple way to create a nf file and update u-boot for systems to migrate.

Other developers: grubby to update nf appropriately.Įxisting booting via arm-boot-config should still work, so existing systems will work as before.

appliance-creator to write out a devicetreedir in nf on arm systems
