• RPi5 boot selector not coming up

    From bp@www.zefox.net@21:1/5 to All on Tue Apr 1 20:49:32 2025
    Some recent discussion here and elsewhere motivated me to
    take a look and the new Raspberry Pi boot manager on my Pi5.

    After going through instructions to install it, which seemed
    to be just updating to the latest firmware, holding down the
    spacebar during both warm and cold reboots doesn't start any
    sort of boot selector at all.

    I've seen the boot manager on one older Pi in my collection,
    so I know what it looks like and it simply isn't happening.
    That Pi, however, was running from microSD. Does it matter?

    At the moment the Pi5 is running without a microSD card. I'll
    try adding one next.

    Thanks for reading, and any hints.
