Files:
  violetbsd-11.0-a2560me.img.gz — shareable compressed 16 GiB whole-disk image

  violetbsd-11.0-a2560me.SHA256 — file checksums

Target: A2560Me with 68LC060, 66.67 MHz FPGA Build 67. Root is mSATA ld3a;
swap is 512 MiB. Includes native userland, X11/startx, GGE DAC line-out audio,
and preinstalled nano/pkgin/git-base plus dependencies. First-boot package
configuration runs locally. Automatic DHCP, SSH and default disk expansion
are disabled. The user DIP 2 growth option is retained.

Use the native Go violetBSD Image Writer (one executable per platform): select the .img.gz or .img, select the external
destination, then Write and confirm erasure. The writer automatically installs
unique private entropy and verifies the entire write. Use a 32 GB or larger
drive. See the writer README for platform prerequisites and validation status.
The Linux write-sdcard.sh command also performs automatic provisioning.
Generic raw image writers require the manual entropy fallback documented in
violetbsd-entropy.md. Flash kernel installation remains a separate operation.

First boot:
- Log in as root at the local console; set a password with passwd.
- Configure networking as needed (manual DHCP: dhcpcd -4 -1 -t 20 smsh0).
- This public image intentionally has no SSH host keys, authorized keys or
  secret entropy seed. No personal login key is installed.
- When using the violetBSD writer, entropy is provisioned automatically.
  No manual seeding is needed after installation. An early kernel warning may
  precede the normal disk-seed load. SSH remains disabled by default.
- SSH credentials and root authorized_keys must be configured by the owner.
  Root SSH uses keys by default. Do not distribute a used/personalized disk
  image after keys, seeds or credentials have been installed.

Validation: image/seed integration tests and drive-filter fixture tests pass.
This rebuilt public image has not yet been written or booted on the board.
macOS and Windows writer backends require native acceptance testing.
