Hi,
with a signed shim by mjg59, it’s now possible to forcibly run unsigned
EFI
applications on all EFI x86 systems. Even without it, on
non-RestrictedBoot
platforms, unsigned EFI applications can be run. The question is…
… whether someone is working on having a SeaBIOS variant that itself is an EFI application, so that things like MS-DOS and MirBSD can be booted on an EFI computer (other than Macintosh, I’ve yet to see one, but that can probably change)?
Pretty please ;-)
Thanks in advance, //mirabilos (please Cc me, not on the list) --
I am not currently working on it, but have began learning about the SeaBIOS and the shim loader to support booting FreeDOS and running many DOS applications. I would like to assist anyone who is working on an open source (i.e. SeaBIOS based) BIOS compatibility layer to load on a UEFI system lacking such support. Or if such project already exists please direct me to it.
Thank you, Kenneth J Davis
