Hi Bruno,
Would that apply to NTFS too? Are there BIOS'es that
won't boot off of NTFS? That would have to be a really
old machine.
I think the ones that were checking for FAT also wouldn't boot off of
NTFS either.
In other words, if the motherboard can boot off
an NTFS hard drive, should it also be able to boot
off a USB EXT4 stick? (I am finding I have to go to
somewhat newer motherboards to get the USB boot option
in BIOS anyway.)
I would expect so, but BIOS code is generally terrible and there may be
some somewhere that doesn't. The ones even testing for a file system
were arguably broken, since they are just supposed to execute the boot
block.
