UEFI boot support

Open NHellFire opened this issue 6 years ago • 3 comments

I've pushed a branch with UEFI support. This still supports legacy(BIOS) boot and the ISO can still be written directly to a flash drive.

Known issues:

  • [ ] ISO written directly to flash drive won't boot in UEFI. Legacy does though.
  • [ ] Boot menu needs finishing (only has interactive)

This will be merged into master once any issues are resolved.

Will this support removing UEFI boot entries whose bootloaders have been destroyed by the disk erasure process?

If I understand this question right those old boot references would need to be removed from within the UEFI Setup/Config GUI or the UEFI shell.

I do believe a process with root permissions in a UEFI-booted Linux can manage the boot table. If it is booted in BIOS, then it won't work.
