Hello, i took the latest pi os for all PIs, did
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

but the firmware is still the old one.
"rpi-eeprom-update -a" says it will update with next reboot - but after reboot the same ... it just does not do any update during reboot.
Is this because of berryboot ?

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo rpi-eeprom-update -a

May need to mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 on /boot first.

May need to mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 on /boot first.

so i should mount it - and try "rpi-eeprom-update -a" again ? Does this help ?

maxnet commented

It should

hmmm, so do i have to modify fstab ?

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ ls /dev/mm*
/dev/mmcblk0 /dev/mmcblk0p1 /dev/mmcblk0p2
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ mount /dev/mmcblk0p1
mount: /dev/mmcblk0p1: can't find in /etc/fstab.
pi@raspberrypi:~ $

Just specify the mount point.

sudo mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /boot
