Contrary to the main argumentative line of this thread, I found EFI far better than BIOS booting. The fact that a dedicated partition is used to hold the primary boot loaders, is a great advantage. With BIOS, the booloader was placed in the first sector's initial 446 bytes of data with the remaining defining the partition table of just 64 bits. Furthermore, additional data was also written where the bootloader's second stage main executable was saved on disk.
EFI is as simple as placing the bootloader's first state in the EFI System Partition. This is much simpler. I haven't tried secure boot with Linux, but using a signed primary bootloader from distributions that offer that, should solve the problem. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
