Something like that, but rather on the form of a .EFI executable (for example), to load it on UEFI firmwares that don't provide a CSM: there are many of them...

- jaclaz 5y agoYes, what would be needed would be a "reversed Clover", but, though there is some work in this space, I don't think that there is anything actually working (besides the much simpler int10h provider for EFI, needed for Windows 7 and 2008 on motherboards without CSM), here a few projects are listed: http://reboot.pro/index.php?showtopic=22488 http://reboot.pro/index.php?showtopic=22488 but, even if something will come out, it will likely need to be adapted/targeted to specific hardware, unless somehow it is possible to translate transparently UEFI functions to and from BIOS interrupts. I believe that bare-metal DOS is going to become extinct and be relegated inside emulators or virtual machines. In itself it would not be that bad if we had actually working/useful native EFI programs/shells, or grub (or grub4dos, now also in a grub4efi version) related ones but AFAIK - and for whatever reasons - these are very rare.
