Hi!
Thanks for adopting this nice project and continuing to maintain it.
I've seen quite a few of those images which boot just fine in "legacy" BIOS'es, but fail in UEFI, and vice versa.
I'll also say that it's pretty cool that
multibootusbsupports--hybrid --efithat mostly Just Works!But it took me a while to figure out the QEMU+UEFI combo (mostly due to confusion stemming from blindly trusting the quality of stuff in AUR)... Posting this as a doc-patch to not have to rediscover it again; also to highlight to project users that the two boot modes 1) exist 2) can both be tested in QEMU.
I've also split the long commandlines for easier comprehension.
Please let me know if LGTY, I'm hoping for an easy merge.
Thanks again, and best wishes!
