Looks to begin with (SD cards show up as /dev/sda We're going to shrink the Raspbian filesystemĭown, and then add a third partition for Debian.

Second one is the main ext4 filesystem for the Raspbian boot partition with a FAT filesystem, and the Partitions on the card: The first one is a small Installing Raspbian will have resulted in two Raspberry Pi and move the micro SD card back to another With the 64-bit kernel in place, power down the Instructions to install and reboot into the 64-bit Put the card into the Raspberry Pi, and do the initialīoot and setup as normal.

Installed the “Raspbian Buster with Desktop”Įdition, but Lite would probably work too.

Normal process to install Raspbian onto the card. I used a 64GB card, but 16GB should be enough. On a single card, so you'll need one with enough space for We're going to install Raspbian and Debian side by side

Bootstrap Debian into it by running debootstrapĭetailed installation process Install Raspbian onto a micro SD card.

Add a new partition to the SD card for Debian.

Update it with the 64-bit kernel made available for testing by the Raspberry Pi.
