Posting this since quite a bit has changed since I last posted about this on !technology@lemmy.world.

Here’s a rough breakdown of the current status:

• shared Ventoy components: build and seem to work, needs more testing
  • grub / menu - builds
  • EDK II apps / UEFI chainloader and more - builds
  • iPXE / BIOS chainloader - builds, with fixes for newer toolchains
  • ISO9660 and UDF drivers - TODO
• Ventoy CPIO / Linux ramdisk: builds; I deemed musl xzcat unneeded, so I skipped it; needs more testing
• wimboot / Windows chainloader (?) - stalled, I lack the necessary knowledge to work on it
• geom-ventoy / FreeBSD disk mapping kernel module - is being worked on, slowly; not ready for testing
• anything else is a TODO

This should be enough to boot Linux with just what’s built manually, but I haven’t tried that yet.

Secure Boot is just done by using a pre-built bypass package. I’ll deal with that later.

Having more people testing this would be nice. :)

Cheers
