Hi everyone,
I am currently missing two things:
* There is no description how to boot LFS from a GPT partitioned disk
on UEFI firmware - the background of this proposal is that many new
UEFI setups hide legacy support in a relly terrible way. Some setups
use labels like "Operating system support: Windows 7" to enable the
CSM. The current situation is that every UEFI includes an CSM, but
Microsofts requirements to OEMs only say that there must be a
possibility to disable secure boot. So in the short term PCs without
CSM will appear. I would take the task of adding gnu-uefi and
gummiboot to chapter 6 and write chapter 8.5 "Using gummiboot to
setup the boot process (UEFI)". I would keep 8.5 as simple as
possible - no cascade of bootloaders with preloader.efi. So the
users have to disable secure boot.
The best way to do something like this for LFS is to write a hint.

After that is in place, we can provide a link from the book to the hint.
We do that now for several different hints.
