gpt or mbr, I see later fdisks can do either, so I changed the disk to
#6, did a w, and rewrote the iso using the armhf net-install file.
Putting it in the pi4, and powering it up got me the shortest flash of
the green led I've seen, then just the red was steady nothing else, not
even any heat from the as yet sinkless SOC. Obviously the raspi faq is
missing valuable u-sd card prep info. The rpi4 came in a damned near
empty box, not even a power hookup showing, so based on that purportedly
matching a pi3, 5.11 volts on gpio pin 2 and ground on pin 6.
Whats next?
