Me neither, except for all the work needed. We have a few options though.
The big issue is EFI can't read BFS, so we need to move haiku_loader
from the partition to the EFI system partition or create another EFI
app that find and loads haiku_loader. I prefer the latter as we can
have different version of haiku and loaders more easily.
I wonder how hard it would be to have the EFI app load an elf-app and
provide a basic API to it.
