Hi. I have a gl.inet GL-MV1000 aka Brume[0] and out of curiosity I tried booting -current miniroot on it. The sdcard didn't work ("sdmmc0: can't enable card" and I was going to chalk that up to it not ever having worked.
A bit later I later booted from the wrong previously used sdcard and discovered that it worked in 6.8, and in fact would boot multiuser including network. It's not something that I'm looking to use for real, but if anyone is interested in chasing this down I'm willing to test patches or kernels.
