Introduce a configuration file (`first-boot.conf`) to allow users to override default script variables without modifying the script directly. Update the first-boot script to load this config file from multiple locations, enhancing flexibility in customization. Revise documentation to guide users on how to utilize the config file for setting variables like FILE_SERVER, HOSTNAME, and PACKAGES, improving the overall user experience during first boot operations.
Eliminate the rpi-eeprom configuration steps from the first-boot script, simplifying the installation process. Update the documentation to clarify that the EEPROM boot order is now set via the dashboard or manually, rather than during first boot. Adjust package installation logs to reflect the removal of rpi-eeprom and ensure clarity in the installation process. Enhance overall documentation to guide users on the new EEPROM update methods.
Modify the first-boot script and documentation to set the EEPROM boot order to 0xf21, prioritizing eMMC boot followed by network boot. Adjust network boot settings for faster failure on DHCP timeouts and update related scripts and documentation to reflect these changes. Enhance the rescue script to directly modify EEPROM settings without requiring a chroot into eMMC, streamlining the recovery process for devices stuck in network-only boot. Update relevant documentation to ensure clarity on the new boot order and its implications.
