Refactor first-boot documentation and scripts to enhance Chromium startup behavior. Update start-chromium.sh to prefer Wayland for better touch support and adjust fullscreen handling for both Wayland and X11 environments. Clarify CM4 EEPROM configuration in documentation to prevent conflicts with reTerminal DM display backlight. Improve user guidance on touch interactions in Chromium.

# Provisioning initramfs for network boot
Minimal initramfs that runs **provisioning-client.sh** after bringing up the network. Used with Raspberry Pi 4 / CM4 (reTerminal) when booting via TFTP from the provisioning LXC.
## What it does
1. Mounts `/proc`, `/sys`, `/dev`, `/dev/pts`.
2. Ensures an IP (reuses kernel DHCP or runs `udhcpc` on eth0).
3. Runs the provisioning client with `PROVISIONING_SERVER` (default `http://10.20.50.1:5000`, overridable via kernel cmdline).
4. The client registers with the dashboard and polls for **Deploy** or **Backup**; on action it performs the dd + curl and exits.
## Build
**On x86_64 (e.g. your laptop):** the script uses **Podman** or **Docker** with `--platform linux/arm64` to run an arm64 container and copy busybox + curl into the initramfs. Your host must be able to *run* arm64 containers (via QEMU emulation).
- **Fedora:** one-time setup to enable arm64 containers:
```bash
sudo dnf install -y qemu-user-static
```
Then run the build (Podman will use QEMU automatically):
```bash
cd emmc-provisioning/network-boot-initramfs
./build.sh
```
- If you dont install `qemu-user-static`, the script will fail with an error and print the same instructions and an alternative (build on a Pi).
**On a Raspberry Pi 4 or other aarch64 host:** no Docker. Install deps and run:
```bash
sudo apt install -y busybox curl
./build.sh
```
Optional: pass an output path:
```bash
./build.sh /path/to/initrd.img
```
## Deploy to TFTP root
1. Copy **initrd.img** to the LXC TFTP root (e.g. `/srv/tftpboot`):
```bash
scp initrd.img root@10.130.60.141:/srv/tftpboot/
```
2. In the TFTP root, ensure **config.txt** (Raspberry Pi boot config) includes the initramfs line. If you use the stock `config.txt` from the RPi firmware repo, add:
```
initramfs initrd.img followkernel
```
So the firmware loads the kernel and then the initrd that “follows” it. The Pi will boot the kernel and run `/init` from the initrd.
3. If your DHCP already points the Pi to this TFTP server and `start4cd.elf`, the Pi will load kernel + initrd from the same root. No NFS or extra server needed.
## Kernel cmdline (optional)
To override the provisioning server URL (e.g. if the dashboard is on another IP), add to **cmdline.txt** in the TFTP root (or append to the kernel command line):
```
provisioning_server=http://10.20.50.1:5000
```
The init script reads `provisioning_server=` from `/proc/cmdline` and exports `PROVISIONING_SERVER` for the client.
## Flow summary
1. Pi does DHCP → gets IP and TFTP server (e.g. 10.20.50.1).
2. Pi loads via TFTP: start4cd.elf, fixup4cd.dat, config.txt, cmdline.txt, kernel8.img, **initrd.img**.
3. Kernel boots with initrd as root; runs `/init`.
4. Init mounts minimal fs, ensures network, runs `/provisioning-client.sh`.
5. Client registers and polls; you choose Deploy or Backup in the dashboard; client runs dd + curl and exits.
6. After deploy, power cycle the Pi so it boots from eMMC.
See **docs/NETWORK-BOOT-DEPLOYMENT-FLOW.md** for the full deployment flow.
