Subject: Raspberry Pi diskless install methods changed?

Hello All,
I have been using diskless alpine on Raspberry Pi for quite a while but =
I haven't set up a new install in about 6 months. I am trying to deploy =
alpine-rpi-3.16.2-aarch64 onto a Pi4, and a diskless configuration is =
mandatory for how I'm using these. Has something changed recently with =
how this process works? Can someone provide me with the correct steps =
for deploying alpine on a pi in a diskless fashion?

When I run setup alpine and enter 'data' for disk type (which isn't =
listed in the suggestions list, but is accepted when I enter it) it then =
prompts for a partition to use. If I use /dev/mmcblk0p1 it just wants to =
format that partition - which should not be necessary.

I have tried working off of a few different guides that I've found but =
none seem to work correctly, any guidance on this would be greatly =
appreciated, I feel like I'm running in circles for a process that =
shouldn't be that complicated.=20

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
John=
