Hi,

I have read that NetBSD can be installed on the raspberry pi 4 (I have only
experience with a really old raspberry pi 1, which worked OK), and would like to
know if anyone can confirm that it works with the 400 (should be equivalent to
the 4, but who knows).

I plan to try anyway soon, but it would be nice if somebody could share their
experience.

Thanks!

I can confirm that it runs on Pi4.

Having no Pi400, I cannot answer this. I'd just switch to optimist mode
and try. My 4ers needed an EEPROM update first via booting RasPIan and
that EEPROM update tool I forgot the name of. The smart duck will know.

Thanks for your reply!
I will have to try this some day (my Raspberry Pi 400 is sitting there unused
for a long time).

In the mean time, I got a very cheap VPS at Racknerd and installed NetSBD on
it, so I can play with it at any time, from anywhere.

Cheers.
