Hi everybody,
I made a microsd bootable with a single W95 FAT32 (LBA) partition formatted in vfat.
copied the http://wiki.alpinelinux.org/cgi-bin/dl.cgi/v3.3/releases/armhf/alpine-rpi-3.3.0-armhf.rpi.tar.gz archive contents in the SD and tried to boot.
but after the "bootloader" with the quick rising bar to 100% I get a blinking prompt and that's it.. any suggestions? anyone do have same problem?

I can boot the 3.2.3 image but alpine-setup is not able do download apk from repos and thus is not completing.

I am trying to install Alpine on a Raspberry Pi, but I'm having problems even creating the SD card (as explained on http://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi)

Can anyone point to a source explaining how to perform the steps in the preparation?
I think I have successfully made the required FAT32 partition, but I'm not sure how to

- Mark the newly created partition as bootable and save
- Extract the tarball contents to your FAT32 partition

I eventually figured out how to make the preparations, so never mind my questions!
