Excellent point, back when I was writing my project, EFI wasn't a viable alternative.
Do you know how is the tooling with EFI these days? Can you boot EFI-bootable images using QEMU or Bochs? How about debugging, etc?
- JoshTriplett 12y agoKVM/QEMU with the OVMF BIOS image provides a full emulation environment for testing and debugging. You can build EFI binaries using entirely Open Source tools. Also try BITS (biosbits.org) for experimentation with either BIOS, ACPI, and EFI; it's a port of Python to run in GRUB2. (I'm one of the upstream authors.)
