## Kernel
Follow the install instructions at the bottom of
<https://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv8/broadcom/raspberry-pi-4#installation>
and boot.
Install linux-rpi as kernel and verify /boot/cmdline.txt to point to the right
root device before rebooting.
## Boot from USB drive
The RPI4 supports booting from USB out of the box.
Refer to <https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/raspberry-pi.html#usb-boot-modes>
Most documentation assumes booting from mmcblk devices. Make sure you always
point to the right devices or partitions, particularly in /boot/cmdline.txt
and /etc/fstab.
## Prefer AArch64 for high IO loads and out-of-memory issues
The RPI4 has issues with a high IO load when running in 32-bit mode. Running
AArch64 solves these. If you experience the oom-killer kicking in with no
obvious memory hungry apps but high IO, then switch to AArch64.
