So I am trying to make my pi run as a kvm server (this is its first job, I plan to run home assistant next) and I am having a lot of difficulty setting up barrier/input leap/deskflow, also if someone has another suggestion, or a way to make one of theses work I am all ears
But now I have a more pressing issue, I just cant acess my pi!!!
I wanted to have a fresh install of pi OS for another run at it, as I have done so many times, I am rocking a Waveshare PCIe to M.2 Adapter, so what would I normally do, just insert a SD card with another OS build and use the imager to clean the SSD and put another OS there.
But since last time I have discovered how to mess around on the pi eepron, so it boots directly from the SSD, so I thought OK, now I dont need it to boot from SSD, so I changed BOOT_ORDER=0xf416 to just BOOT_ORDER=0xf41 and reboot it.....I think I have f***d up something because after that I was locked out of my pi
Tried the utility imager to boot back from SSD which I knew still worked, nothing, tried to go back to the SD card with pi OS, nothing......now that I think of it, the first time I turned on my pi I was able to download its OS, but this option never came back, is there a way to access it? It is usually holding shift on the first pi screen right? I did that and it didnt work, not even showed me this option as it did the first time
Please send help, I dont know what else to try
