Is this a space where I can ask stupid questions and/or make feature requests? If not, too bad: is there any (planned or existing) support for installing and booting from an external drive? I'd really like to get my feet wet helping out with asahi, but I also cheaped out on my HW and got the 512gb model. Rookie mistake...

these macs do not support booting from an external drive, and so we will never support a "fully" external install
<Calandracas>
its possible to use grub to boot from an external drive though right?

<d1ngus>
technically yes, but doing so would mean writing a grub config that will only boot from a very specific drive UUID. besides, wouldn't grub need its own version of the usb drivers as well?
<Calandracas>
yeah thats kinda what I mean, even if its possible, its a pain in the ass

<Calandracas>
512GB is plenty of space, if you need external storage use external storage, no need to boot from it
<Calandracas>
I'm prefectly happy with 256GB, with 3 different boot environments
<chadmed_>
d1ngus: grub would live on the usb
<chadmed_>
you would use u-boot to boot from the usb, which would have your /boot and root on it
<chadmed_>
while this does mostly work, its not officially supported and you get to keep the pieces if it explodes on you

<chadmed_>
u-boot provides the usb stack anyway, grub doesnt need to do anything special
<d1ngus>
I think I'll do a normal local install and then play with usb booting once I get comfortable hacking on the boot process then. just had some space anxiety
<chadmed_>
my macos partition is like 100 GB and i still fit cs2 on there with enough space for macos to do updates so *shrug*
<chadmed_>
i think youll be fine
<d1ngus>
would definitely be interesting to make this a more "blessed" configuration though

it sounds potentially possible with linuxboot or something, but linuxboot is quite far off

runxiyu: it's possible right now, with nothing but the existing m1n1+U-Boot install option. it's just not supported in the sense that we're not going to help you if it breaks
<runxiyu>
huh
<chadmed_>
you can literally just put an arm64/asahi rootfs on a usb stick and boot it using m1n1/u-boot as they exist right now
<chadmed_>
its always been possible
<chadmed_>
we do this for gentoo installs
<tpw_rules>
i do it ofr nixos installs too
<tpw_rules>

note that you must not suspend if the rootfs is on usb storage (should be only the usb-c usb4 ports) as those usb ports reset after suspend
<jannau>
supporting macos style external disk boot is not out of the question but someone has to add USB host / storage support to m1n1
