The current RPI4 beta firmware can boot from a USB attached disk.  It
does, in fact, boot Raspbian from a USB disk.  The boot process for
openSUSE is different from Raspbian, involving u-boot and such.  Has
anybody figured out how to boot openSUSE from a USB attached disk on a
RPI4 with the current beta firmware?

I copied some firmware files from the Raspbian image to an openSUSE
Tumbleweed image and get as far as u-boot loading the initrd and kernel
and then it goes black.  I am guessing there is a mismatch between
their DTB and our kernel.  I image with a few hundred hours of fiddling
around I might get it to work.

The usual solution for me is to wait a few weeks or months until
openSUSE "just works".  Has anybody tried this?  Has anybody succeeded?

Thanks.
Bill
