[Feature Request]: Support for non-EFI partition booting

Open BlackHole1 opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Thank you for developing the krun project! We are preparing to migrate from vfkit to krun. However, we are currently facing some issues.

When using vfkit, we started the virtual machine through kernel + initel + cmdline. It seems that krunkit currently only supports EFI boot.

I would like to know if you have plans to support a similar method to vfkit for starting virtual machines?

(transferring the issue to libkrun, since external kernel loading must be implemented here first)

Yes, one of the goals for 2024Q4 is implementing support for loading a kernel that way, so it's coming very soon.
