The latest is too busy to update the article for a long time. Some time ago, I created my own private cloud disk through Raspberry Pi + OwnCloud + Peanut Shell. Recently, I want to do other things through the Raspberry Pi, such as Kodi multimedia, Lakka games, etc., but I don't want to constantly replace the SD card (the default SD card of the Raspberry Pi is the system disk), so I thought of implementing the system through BerryBoot. Switch without replacing the SD card.
1. Preparation
1. Download BerryBoot:
(sourceforge) download address:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/berryboot/files/?source=navbar
(CSDN) download address:
https://download.csdn.net/download/github_33304260/10366810
2. Download the required system image
Mirror download address:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/berryboot/files/os_images/
(This step can also be skipped. After installing BerryBoot, download it from the Internet by yourself)
2. Install BerryBoot
1. Extract the downloaded BerryBoot to the TF card.
I have used the TF card to do the system before, and there is one more partition. See the appendix at the end of the article for the content of the mac merge partition.
⚠️: Remember to unzip the content to the root directory of the TF card2. TF is inserted into the Raspberry Pi, connected to the power supply and HDMI cable, and connected to the mouse and keyboard
3. Power on, you can see the BerryBoot interface
3. Configure BerryBoot
As shown below:
1. It is recommended to select No for Video, that is, to scan the edge of the screen every time it is started. If it is set to Yes, a green border will be displayed.
2. Audio select Auto
3. NetWork The wifi I choose here will let you enter the wireless password later.
4. Select your connection method for Network; choose CN/Shanghai for Timezone in the Locale setting, otherwise there will be problems with the installed system time display; select us for Keyboard layout; write the following TestKeyboard at will, and then OK.
Go to the next page:
5. We choose the first one, and then Format.
Go to the next page:
6. Here we can choose the system we need to install. After selecting, we will go to the network to download, or download to the U disk in advance, because once the network download fails, we will start all over again.
4. Additional configuration
As shown below:
Here we see that there are many attributes
Add os: Add a new system
Rename: Rename
Backup: Backup
Set Default: Set the default startup system
These are common operations and can be studied by yourself.

mac merge partition
We are able to see that my TF card has two partitions disk2s1 and disk2s2
Merge partitions:
diskutil mergePartitions JHFS+ xx disk2s1 disk2s2 . 'xx' is the name of the volume, which is the column of Type, 'disk2s1 disk2s2' There are two numbers here refer to the two partitions, the latter is the partition you want to delete, and the former is the partition to which you want to merge the deleted partition
diskutil mergePartitions JHFS+ FDisk_partition_scheme disk2s1 disk2s2
