aarch64 - any plans?

Hi,

are there any plans for getting the script run for aarch64 platforms? (i.e. Apple Silicon QEMU)

The boot process on aarch64 is usually very device specific and often requires a custom uboot image. That makes it very hard to find a one-size-fits-most solution that could easily be integrated into this installer. I'm not very familiar with the specific steps needed for Apple Silicon, so if you have any idea how that would be possible without adding a lot device specific overrides I see no issue in supporting this.

Thank you for the quick answer! I thought about QEMU specifically, not really about bare metal since asahi is still a really really work in progress alpha thingy.

Support for raspberry pi arm64/aarch64 would need a custom boot option, this link might help - https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi4_64_Bit_Install
