Re: How to boot FreeBSD installed on the sd card on the Khadas Edge-V instead of Android

Took me about 10 seconds to find it:
 
The "function button" is not a button on your keyboard, but on your Khadas Edge board.

Subject: How to boot FreeBSD installed on the sd card on the Khadas Edge-V instead of Android

Hello.

I’ve got the board Khadas Edge-V to my home. I’ve installed FreeBSD on the sd card and I would like to boot from it. But everytime that I turn on the board,Android boots instead of FreeBSD. How can I boot the board from the sd card ?

From here :
 
https://forum.khadas.com/t/how-to-boot-an-os-from-the-sd-card-instead-of-android/25074
 
I read that :

Disconnect the power supply, insert the SD card, access the power supply, and press the Function Button three times within five seconds.Will boot from SD cardI tried,but it did not work. On my keyboard I don’t have a Function Button,but the F (1-12) keys. Which one is the right one ? 
 
Thanks for your help.
