I have a pi4 that's been sitting quietly on my desk waiting for a
bootable image for some months now.

I do weekly buildworld/buildkernel cycles and would be happy to report
my experience.  I've been doing this with CURRENT for a long time on
rpi3, FWTW.  But Bob Prohaska always get there first ;).

Please put me down for a HowTo.  Your help *greatly* appreciated.

regards,
Ross

     Order is simply a thin, perilous condition
     we try to impose on the basic reality of chaos.
