Booting DietPi from PCIe

[Balujuhu]

Hi everyone,

I want to boot my Pi5 with DietPi via PCIe nvme. But I’m nut sure how to do it. There are so much different guides (many using a GUI OS) or different OS. Is there a step by step guide that is working to copy dietpi from sdcard to PCIe nvme?

Just flash it to NVME and set the correct boot order.
See:
DietPi / rpi 5 / NVME M2 SSD
and

or NVMe SSD boot with the Raspberry Pi 5 - Geekworm Wiki

and how to move from SD to nvme Moving a running DietPi system to a USB stick/disk or an onboard eMMC – DietPi Blog

Thanks for your answers.

Am I right that in this link Moving a running DietPi system to a USB stick/disk or an onboard eMMC – DietPi Blog I have to set the boot order first?

When I flash DietPi directly on the nvme via balenaEtcher (usb Adapter) I just insert the nvme in the RaspberryPi PCIe slot and it’s working?

Ok, I think I flash DietPi directly on the nvme.

Thanks!
