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. ron
