What happened?

Hey.

It would be great if we could use Ventoy to boot ChromeOS SHIM images or recovery images off a single disk. There are current solutions for making multiple SHIM images, but sadly it's limited to one SHIM per board. A solution like Ventoy would be great, because you could load all the SHIM's / recovery images you need on one drive and just carry that around.

I'm not especially adapt at these things, but i know that Chromebooks generally use Uboot / Coreboot / TianCore, and i would hope that using the same method that you boot a factory SHIM could be applied to Ventoy.

Google's source on how the Factory SHIM process is applied: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/platform/factory
