Last week was BSD on SBSA Reference Platform week.

I did FreeBSD and found one bug in QEMU, and it looks like one backport from FreeBSD 14 to 13.x will be needed.

NetBSD 9 may get backport from 10 to make it boot at all.

OpenBSD 7.3 went smooth. Once I updated firmware.

#qemu #openbsd #netbsd #freebsd #aarch64 #virtualization #sbsa 

 Which non-Linux operating systems have aarch64 version and are freely available?

Already checked FreeBSD (found bug in qemu), NetBSD (bisecting on a way) and OpenBSD (works).

Looking at other options. 

 Fedora packaging tools ;(

"dnf5 distro-sync" ends with installing extra 54 packages.

To find why I would have to go through dnf5/dnf docs, find which command to use and how.

Or just accept 117MB growth of / filesystem.

I miss Aptitude ;( 

 My "AArch64 SoC features" table lists Broadcom BCM2712 from Raspberry/Pi 5 now:

 We did several updates to SBSA Reference Platform in QEMU so it is time for some blogging about it:
