Raspberry Pi OS Trixie has been released. I was wanting to do a clean network install to my NVME drive, if possible? First hurdle is pressing and holding the shift key on power up does nothing? There is a short delay after plugging in the power supply, but after that it just boots to the NVME base? Wired keyboard plugged into one of the USB 2 ports.
EDIT: Just went from bad to worse, lol. I booted up and changed the boot order to Network. Now it tries but fails to Network Boot, then tries to boot to the SD Card Slot. No SD Card so no boot, Flashing an SD Card with Trixie as I type this.
I’ll boot from that then install to the NVME and then boot to that I guess?
Holding shift on power up only works if ethernet is connected. It should then start the imager that is embedded into the bootloader. As long as the bootloader isn’t too old.
I always keep the SD in my boot-order as configured in the eeprom. That is always great as a last resort.
Ethernet was connected, it had been using it in Bookworm. It tried to boot to Ethernet, then tried to boot from an SD Card, but the slot was empty. I had a couple of Raspberry Pi Branded Official Cards on hand, Bookworm installs though. It’s all up and running now. It was just one of those, oh crap, oh crap moments. The Network install was something I had never done so I figured I’d give it a try for a look see. After the third attempt I just moved on to what I knew worked.
