Add support for syslinux EFI in setup-disk
Hi,
I'd really like to be able to use setup-disk
with syslinux
for an EFI system.
Currently, one needs to mount the EFI partition on /boot/efi
, and only bootx64.efi
will be installed by grub-efi
on that partition, keeping the kernel and stuff out of it.
What I'd like to achieve is having the EFI partition mounted on /boot
, so that initramfs
and vmlinuz
end up on the EFI partition (which is required for syslinux
as far as I know, as the root would be on LVM).
I think this goes well in line with the Alpine philosophy.
Is this something you'd be interested in / that would get merged if I opened a PR? If so, is there something I should be mindful of?
Maybe this could be done with a syslinux-efi
package? One thing I noticed is that installing syslinux
automatically "pollutes" /boot
with .m32
and .sys
as well as extlinux.conf
files, which are not required for an EFI setup. Is there a way around this?
