One other option is to use a minimal Linux image that can then kexec Xen/dom0/initrd without any of the UEFI limitations. This also addresses the various interesting alternate installation techniques -- if Linux has a driver for the NIC/filesystem/etc it is possible to use it to fetch, verify and invoke the next stages. -- Trammell -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-devel" group.
