About that EFI parition on the disk...

Post by tangles » Tue Oct 23, 2012 11:20 pm

Hi,
Just thinking out aloud here about booting...

Is it possible to get EFI to look for a kernel on the ~200MB partition at the start of the disk?
I know that EFI want's HFS to boot, but if it looks for an EFI partition first, (a.k.a read!) is it possible to have the kernel (and the necessary kexts) on an EFI partition of a disk as well?
The EFI partition could be resized to accomodate the kernel and kexts too I guess.

Is anyone knowledgeable about the EFI partition to provide some more information about it?

Is this wishful thinking? or is something like this worth exploring a bit more?

Cheers,

Raoul.
