Took me 5 hours to figure out that in order to get raspberry pi imager 1.7.5 to write the OS to disk, you have to allow an app through Controlled folder access... there is almost no where that tells anyone to do this. So if anyone needs help, here it is. Also, the 64 bit raspberry pi OS is now out. Which is what I was installing.
Is this just an installer or could we do the equivalent of PXE booting a storageless Raspberry Pi? Being able to do that would make setting up a cluster of Pis easier.
There's no option to change the boot order to NVME after installing it to disk or before for that matter. So then how do we get it to boot now? You're telling me that I've got to get it to boot from USB or SD now just so that I can go back and change it again to NVME boot? This seems stupid having to go back and forth from different devices all of the time. There's got to be a better way of doing this. Like the pimoroni should've put a USB port on it of some sort so that you don't have to keep unplugging and plugging in the NVME drive and could at least format it from another pi or pc or something. This is redonkulous. I spend more time doing this than I do getting to use the OS.
Why bother releasing a device that's not even ready or doesn't have a lot or enough OS's to choose from and software that's not ready or complete or is lacking in some areas.
I didn't get that boot screen on the raspberry pi 5. What do I do? What did I do wrong? I've got a boot screen that's got the raspberry pi logo in the top left of the screen and then it says raspberry pi 5 - 8GB bootloader: 4c845bd3 2024/02/16 Update-ts: 1711048263 yada yada yada.
Okay. So it finally worked and I was able to install Ubuntu but then when it rebooted it didn't boot into Ubuntu it went back to the screen stand I started with before it finally went into the raspi-imager.
