04:23 <amw> chadmed: I had the USB storage not compiled in and now it can mount sda1 ext4 partition on a USB thumb drive using the mu-one kernel https://github.com/mu-one/linux.git 20211022

04:25 <amw> *BUT* the USB keyboard does not work if I use the mu-one device tree (t8103-j274-mu-one.dts) but does if I use a much older one I had working before (t8103-j274-keyboard5.dts) see diff here https://paste.debian.net/1218398/

04:25 <amw> If anyone is looking for a puzzle any suggestions appreciated - otherwise I'll have to nut it out.

04:28 <marcan> kettenis: if we do what I said of using multiple ESPs, then we don't really need nvram; each OS would be the default boot path in its ESP

04:29 <marcan> I still think there are reasons to use the native boot picker and do it this way ;)

04:29 <marcan> (among other things because multiple OSes sharing a container would have to share firmware version, and who says all distros you have installed have the same kernel support for firmware? if you want to update you'd have to first make sure all your distros support the new version, which kinda sucks)

04:30 <marcan> (also whatever SEP shenanigans are involved with OS identity)
