[PATCH 0/3] Hybrid UEFI disk image |
|
Date: |
Sun, 7 May 2017 16:35:05 +0200 |
This ended up a lot simpler than anticipated.
These patches are on top of <https://bugs.gnu.org/26339>, but can be
ported to master since it ultimately didn't use any of the new tricks.
Test with:
$ cp $(./pre-inst-env guix system disk-image --image-size=1G \
gnu/system/install.scm) install.img
$ chmod 644 install.img
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 512M -serial stdio \
-bios $(guix build ovmf)/share/firmware/ovmf_x64.bin \
-drive file=install.img,if=virtio
One caveat is that it probably only works on most(?) 64-bit systems.
Please test it on real hardware, especially older EFI systems. Not sure
what to do about 32-bit yet.

vm: Add support for arbitrary partition flags.
vm: Support creating FAT partitions.
vm: Support EFI boot in base image.

Thanks again for the excellent feedback. I did an installation by
"naively" following the manual and noticed that it does not mention
mounting other partitions before `guix system init`. So, I added it.
Pushed at last!
