I switched to Gummiboot a while ago, after Canek mentioned it I think, and I am glad I did. I still keep GRUB around because Gummiboot cannot boot from an ISO image so Grub stays for my sysresccd emergency boot option. > ... and if you have no need for multi-booting then the kernel efi stub > is very simple to configure and still works reliably (with openrc and > no initrd here). No need to install a separate boot manager. It's not only for multi-booting. AFAIR you need to build the kernel arguments into the kernel when booting like this, which means you have only one option for each kernel. I prefer to have a No X option as well as a desktop boot. Gummiboot just makes things easy without getting in the way. -- Neil Bothwick To boldly go where I surely don't belong.
