Booting computing devices with EFI aware operating systems

摘要

Example embodiments disclosed herein relate to finding a boot loader on storage. A boot process for a computing device including storage including an extensible firmware interface aware operating system is started. The storage is searched for a boot loader associated with the extensible firmware interface aware operating system.

主权项

1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
start a boot process for a computing device including a fixed storage including a plurality of extensible firmware interface (EFI) aware operating systems; search, during the boot process, a directory of the fixed storage for a plurality of EFI boot loader files respectively associated with the extensible firmware interface aware operating systems until a threshold number of the EFI boot loader files is found or until a timer reaches a threshold; and present representations of the respective EFI boot loader files.
