The market is being flooded with Win10 netbooks, NAS, NUC-type devices
that use eMMC.  I suspect this is due to the eMMC being filled with
multiple backups from Microsofts' update process and being returned for
failure to update.  The devices are relatively cheap.  Leveno, Acer,
Asus and HP all are producing eMMC netbooks.

FreeBSD has committed some code in the upcoming release that allows
recognition of the storage.

The eMMC storage is not seen by the bsd.rd installer but is seen by
bsd.sp/bsd.mp

I'm running Arch linux on mine after the OpenBSD installer failed to
find the eMMC drive.  My results were identical to this prior report.

Is there interest in installing/booting OpenBSD on eMMC?
