Thanks for the info. Does anyone know of a workaround in the meantime?
I've found some information on chainloading grub4dos and from there loading
windows (or whatever else), but all of it dates back to around 2014.
Around the same time there's stuff on passing elf files to kexec, but that
looks like it never got merged or isn't used. (appears to be from the time
when kexec itself was implemented) No idea whether that would work with a
payload, even if the mechanism exists.
Thanks,
-Matt
