Sample Comments
doesn't UEFI resolve all that?
With uefi that seems to not be a problem.
What's UEFI got to do with it?
Apparently the UEFI implementation it requires to boot is not open source :-(
What an arcane piece of tech. Why not use EFI?
Yeah, that's unfortunate it does not support UEFI out of the box.
Would be nice to see this updated for UEFI!
No official UEFI support at this time.
What would be more bare metal than UEFI?
Seems like this only affects UEFI bootloaders.
