7: Please note that installation on an Apple M1 requires macOS 11.2 or later to be installed first.
8:
9: - Uncompress <http://nycdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/HEAD/latest/evbarm-aarch64/binary/gzimg/arm64.img.gz> and write it to a USB drive. *Make sure this file was built after Aug 30, 2021!*
10:
11: - Build and install `sysutils/u-boot-apple-m1` from pkgsrc.
12: - The bootloader for the Mac mini (M1, 2020) will be installed to `/usr/pkg/share/u-boot/apple-m1/u-boot-t8103-j274.macho`.
13: - j274 - Mac mini (M1, 2020)
14: - j293 - MacBook Pro (13-inch, M1, 2020)
15:
16: - Boot the M1 system into 1TR mode by holding the power button at startup. Until the "Loading startup options..." message is displayed, then select Options.
17: - In the Utilities menu, select Terminal to bring up a root shell.
18:
19: - Downgrade security and disable SIP. (If you get any errors while doing this, first run `csrutil clear`, reboot, and try again)
20: - `# bputil -nkcas`

22:
23: - Copy the u-boot.macho from pkgsrc to the mini over the network (curl, sftp, etc).
