I don't know if this is exactly "bare metal". I think it uses GRUB as a hardware abstraction layer. AFAIK GRUB is not particularly high performant, so it will probably be somewhat slow.
- moonchild 5y agoIt uses grub as a bootloader. At runtime, grub is gone. Linux also uses grub as a bootloader, and has never been called slow.
- marcodiego 5y agoThanks for correcting me. I think I misunderstood this part: > The resulting GRUB module, mezzano.mod, is largely the KBoot Mezzano loader code, ported to use GRUB facilities for memory allocation, disk access, etc. It’s feature-complete, so I released it to Sourcehut. (I’ve only tested it on Libreboot GRUB, not GRUB loaded by other firmware implementations.)
