>Description:
"NetBSD Arm Bootable Images" does not have an image for the LeMaker Banana Pro, which is a garden-variety Allwinner A20 type system.  The appropriate U-Boot package to use is "u-boot-bananapro".

(Noticed while trying to help someone on the NetBSD FB group.)
>How-To-Repeat:
Attempt to install NetBSD 10 on a LeMaker Banana Pro.  Realize that you need to have a the currect U-Boot package and a host toolchain set up so you can installboot the correct u-boot image into the armv7 image.  Gnash teeth.
>Fix:
Someone with admin super-powers should add the LeMaker Banana Pro to the list of images and regenerate them.

 No admin super powers needed for the inclusion in the images (contact
 me off list for a quick howto), any developer can do.

 But: the u-boot required needs to have been part of the u-boot meta-pkg
 when that was last updated on the build host - and updating that pkg
 requires admin powers indeed (and a pkgsrc branch that has it all
 buildable, last time we ran into problems there).
