It's worse than that: OpenBSD doesn't even support GPT, so there sre dependencies in the way before UEFI can start. Last year there was a GSoC which added kernel support but there's nothing in the userland. On Tue Mar 31 15:14:18 2015 Joe Crivello josephcrive...@gmail.com wrote: To prevent

I know that at least in 2004 it was considered to be unreasonable to try to get i386 linux applications working on amd64 openbsd through emul.linux, but how much work would be involved to get amd64 linux apps working? Presumably it wouldn't quite be as easy as just using 64 bit packages instead

Is OpenBSD capable of booting from pure UEFI yet? This basically translates to Is there a UEFI capable bootloader since I don't have secure boot or anything turned on. I'm rather happy not having to deal with the bios at the moment so having to turn legacy boot back on would be really annoying.

Is Ext2 stable enough for normal use?

I've got an ext3 /home partition which I use under linux, how likely is it that files will get clobbered if I use the same /home under a dual boot with openbsd?
