Furthermore, you'll have to use all those EFI APIs there, anyway.Writing an EFI backend for the haiku_loader should be relatively simple, and straight-forward, as it already implements all the functionality you'll need. The hardest thing will probably be to build a proper EFI executable,and integrate this with our build system.Ah, that sounds like a good approach. So I will start working on a prototype of this in my github.I won't integrate it with the Haiku repo or the build system at this point.It should be possible to write a BFS driver for EFI as well: http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/drivers.html to allow it to locate the loader directly...
That's what I said in IRC but no-one listened to me :P -- Alex
