This case probably will not work for me, as I don't think I am allowed to reprogram the BIOS of the machine(s) I'm targeting.

U-Boot does not support this use case so far. I wrongly had the impression that it was supported. Thanks again for the clarification. The reason I wanted to do it, was to get familiar with the U-Boot build process and see the differences vs the EFI mode. So, with the constraint that I have to not modify the existing BIOS, it seems that the only way to put U-Boot on a disk image for x86 is to use U-Boot as EFI payload. Is this correct? -- thanks, igor _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
