    - During the partitioning process, do not delete or format the

 # Updating the firmware  ## Installation via ebijun's image
   
 You probably don't want to do this. Firmware updates can break things,  
 and the latest firmware that's been tested is already included in the  
 NetBSD build you installed.  
   
 If you're feeling adventurous (or are the port maintainer), here's what  
 to test whenever you try new firmware:  
   
 - Audio  Jun Ebihara provides an install image for Raspberry Pi that includes
 - OMXPlayer (and [[!template id=man name="vchiq"]])  packages.  It is based on NetBSD-current.  This image is typically
 - Serial/framebuffer console  updated every few weeks.
 - CPU frequency scaling  
   
 That goes for all of `rpi[0123]`.   - https://github.com/ebijun/NetBSD/blob/master/RPI/RPIimage/Image/README
