Hi all,
I've written a nix expression for efibootmgr, a tool which allows you
to modify some of the nvram variables used by EFI and UEFI systems to
manage the boot process. efibootmgr should compile on non-{U,}EFI
systems, but since the tool relies on the information exported by the
efivars kernel module, which in turn requires that the kernel be
booted in {U,}EFI mode, it's useless unless you have a {U,}EFI system.
Cheers,
Shea Levy
Resubmitting a slightly cleaner patch for this.
