-- Boot into macos
+This repository contains scripts to bootstrap Debian Linux on m1
 
-- make space - the last number is the space that macos will occupy
+fwx.sh
+======
+fwx.sh extracts the wifi firmware and copies it to /tmp/linux-firmware.tar

+bootstrap.sh
+============
+bootstrap.sh is tested to run on arm64 and amd64 Debian stable and testing. It
+creates several artefacts:
 
-- run the installer, do not forget step2.sh
+        - Live System
 
-        curl -L https://mrcn.st/alxsh | sh
+                asahi-debian-live.tar can be extracted on the root of a msdos
+                (vfat32) usb stick and than be booted using U Boot.
 
-- Once you run the install, boot into the 'Options' menu again and install u-boot:
+        - Debian Installer
 
-        curl -LO https://tg.st/u/u-boot.macho
-        kmutil configure-boot -c u-boot.macho -V /Volumes/Linux
+                m1-d-i.tar can be extracted on the root of a msdos (vfat32) usb
+                stick and can be booted using U Boot.
 
-- Format a usb stick with a vfat partition on it, mount the partition and
-  extract the following:
+                In the initrd is a /etc/rc.local which searched for the wifi
+                firmware on any vfat, extracts it and reloads the wifi kernel
+                modules.
 
-        cd /mnt
-        curl -L https://tg.st/u/asahi-debian-live-2022-01-25.tar | tar -xf -
+        - Diskimage for Asahi Installer
 
-- In u-boot interrupt the boot loop by pressing return when prompted to. Use
-  the following command to boot from the usb-stick. Loading the 256 MB initrd
-  takes a while.
+                efi.tgz can be extracted on the root of the esp partition
 
-        run bootcmd_usb0
+                m1.tgz contains a single file which can be dded on a at least 1
+                GB big partition.
 
-- Login with username 'root'. There is no password.
+                        In the disk image is a /etc/rc.local that will extract
+                        the wifi firmware, generate a /etc/fstab, install grub
+                        using Debian methods, mount /boot/efi, assigns a new
+                        UUID to the root filesystem.
 
-- If you have an ethernet card (mini or usb dongle), than get an IP:
+        - U-boot
 
-        dhclient eth0
-
-- Set the time:
-
-        ntpdate pool.ntp.org
-
-- Install any software you like, for example gnome:
-
-        apt-get install gnome
-        useradd -m -c 'user' user
-        passwd user
-        /etc/init.d/gdm3 start
-
-- You can also use the live system to install Debian on the m1, the rough outline is:
-
-        - Create two paritions:
-
-                - One 1 GB vfat
-                - Rest with ext4
-
-        - Use debootstrap to bootstrap debian
-
-        - Install grub
-
-        - reboot
-
-The exact steps follow once I find a little bit of time.
