Draft: qemu-amd64: use EFI boot via gummiboot (!3959) · Merge requests · postmarketOS / pmaports

Administrator requested to merge qemu-efi into master Mar 16, 2023

This adds support for optionally booting the qemu amd64 device using EFI via gummiboot.

It currently depends on https://lists.sr.ht/~postmarketos/pmbootstrap-devel/patches/39774 and https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/boot-deploy/-/merge_requests/26

This doesn't change the default boot method for pmOS in qemu, but it makes pmb qemu --efi work. You can still legacy boot the VM by leaving out the --efi option.

Having a way to do EFI boot in qemu is helpful for testing out changes to EFI bootloaders or for working to support new ones.
