  - Write the image to (u)SD card:
- ````
- $ dd if=armv7.img of=/dev/rsd0d bs=1m conv=sync
+ [[!template id=programlisting text="""
- ````
+ # dd if=armv7.img of=/dev/rsd0d bs=1m conv=sync
+ """]]
  - Write u-boot to (u)SD card. `u-boot` images are provided by
- `sysutils/u-boot-&lt;boardname&gt;` packages, for example for Allwinner SoC:
+ `sysutils/u-boot-<boardname>` packages, for example for Allwinner SoC:

+ NetBSD/evbarm 8.0 does not automatically boot on the BananaPI.
+ We can use the following commands to boot from the (u)SD cards in u-boot:
+ [[!template id=programlisting text="""
+ mmc dev 0
+ setenv kernel netbsd-BPI.ub
+ fatload mmc 0:1 82000000 $kernel
+ bootm 82000000 root=ld0a console=fb
+ """]]
+ Or, to avoid typing them at every boot we can prepare an u-boot script via
+ [[!template id=man name="mkubootimage" section="1"]].
+ [[!template id=programlisting text="""
+ $ cat boot.cmd
+ mmc dev 0
+ setenv kernel netbsd-BPI.ub
+ fatload mmc 0:1 82000000 $kernel
+ bootm 82000000 root=ld0a console=fb
+ $ mkubootimage -A arm -n armv7 -T script boot.cmd boot.scr
+ """]]
+ ...and copy it on the populated (u)SD card:
+ [[!template id=programlisting text="""
+ # mount /dev/sd0e /mnt
+ # cp /mnt/boot.scr /mnt/boot.scr.orig
+ # cp boot.scr /mnt/
+ """]]
- # Installing via sysinst(8)
- *TODOleot*: Document all sysinst(8) "screenshot"!
+ # Installing via sysinst(8)
  Now that the SD card is populated with `armv7.img` we can login as `root` (by
  default the password is empty) and run `sysinst`:
- Line 499  The installation will proceed as usual a
+ Line 530  The installation will proceed as usual a
  please give a look to
  [The NetBSD Guide](https://www.netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/chap-exinst.html#exinst-choose-media).
- *TODOleot*: add information how to populate `/boot` and prepare `boot.cmd`,
+ When the installation is completed, back to the shell we can populate
- `boot.scr`.
+ `/boot` partition of the hard disk ("wd0e") by just copying all
+ files of the `/boot` partition of the (u)SD card (`armv7.img`):
  [[!template id=programlisting text="""
  # mount /dev/wd0e /mnt
  # cp -r /boot/* /mnt/
+ # umount /mnt
+ """]]
+ Finally we can prepare a u-boot script (`boot.scr`) to load the kernel from the
+ SATA hard disk and boot it:
+ [[!template id=programlisting text="""
+ $ cat boot.cmd
+ scsi scan
+ scsi dev 0
+ setenv kernel netbsd-BPI.ub
+ fatload scsi 0:1 82000000 $kernel
+ bootm 82000000 root=wd0a console=fb
+ $ mkubootimage -A arm -n armv7 -T script boot.cmd boot.scr
+ """]]
+ ...and copy them to the (u)SD `/boot`:
+ [[!template id=programlisting text="""
+ # cp boot.scr /boot
  """]]
+ Please remember that in the early boot phase, u-boot and `boot.scr`
+ are loaded from the (u)SD card and it loads the kernel present in
+ the `/boot` partition of the hard disk.
