I'm not sure what the question is, are you asking if UEFI netboot is likely to continue to be supported? I think so, yes. If you are asking if the grub used for CD/DVD is likely you continue to differ from the one used for network boot then I'm not sure. It might be possible to combine them into one larger grub with all the relevant modules, but at the moment they have different "prefixes" (the place where they search for grub.cfg) encoded in the binary, one defaults to on the disk (indirectly via a memdisk) and the other looks to the network. Combining them would be the subject of some investigation to determine if this can be avoided (perhaps using some more advanced scripting). I had a brief look at one point and it seemed non-trivial (plus I was worried about breaking existing uses) Ian. > Ubuntu and CentOS 7 appear to use grubnetx64.efi at the moment for > UEFI netboot - on topic for debian-efi?] > > Happy to help write web page, build images, volunteer or do whatever > I can :) > > All the best, > > AndyC > >
