I am assuming that unlike the old days when I used to boot Linux on PCs using a floppy with SmartBootManager, now we'll need to generate some key/hash for our freshly compiled kernel, then add it to the BIOS firmware and flash the BIOS with it before we are able to boot into it? Is it more complicated than that? -- Regards, Mick
