bootstrap, and then have the full spectrum of x-over-network solutions
that you get from that. That's my new (old) approach nowadays.
Hello Ron,
As my best understanding, Ron, you would like to have Linux kernel with initramfs as payload, and then to pass execution thread to GRUB2.
you added a step we don't need :-)
linux starts, and starts our u-root userland (
u-root.tk). u-root does a dhclient, wget, gpgv, kexec (all this is written in Go). You kexec linux.
There's no grub used in this setup.
2 weeks ago I started an OCP winterfell node booting this way. This was NERF with linux and u-root in flash. it was about 20 seconds for a full cycle of linux in flash, dhclient, wget, kexec. I ran it 10,000 times, got bored, turned it off. It works really, really well.
