Test Results

User	Profile	AWS	Virtual install	Raspberry Pi 4	References
c4rt0	Raspberry Pi 4, 4GB			fail ^[1]	↑ I tried installing FCOS both on an SD card and on a USB drive in order to test it on Raspberry Pi4. I followed the [tutorial](https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-coreos/provisioning-raspberry-pi4/#_installing_fcos_and_booting_via_u_boot), considering next as a STREAM and 39 as a RELEASE. I also followed the [Raspberry Pi tutorial](https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation//computers/raspberry-pi.html#updating-the-bootloader) on updating the bootloader. Until the very last step everything seems to work as expected, but after inserting the drive into the Raspberry Pi4, nothing but a dark screen was presented. Same goes for F38, stable.
