Hi Markus, The version of bootarm.efi that I have is able to boot from my MBR disk. I used the strings command you provided and it looks like it is looking for efiboot.plist. I still haven't found documentation on the allowable contents of efiboot.plist file anywhere. Sounds like the format

Ok, I finally found the right incantation to boot Netbsd-9.1 on my banana pi sata disk but haven't figured out how to make it run automatically yet: 1) Grab a pre-built armv7.img (u-boot and mini-root) from http://www.armbsd.org/arm/ 2) Write it to my sdcard Via serial console, interrupt
