gummiboot is a simple UEFI boot manager which executes
configured EFI images. The default entry is selected by a
configured pattern (glob) or an on-screen menu.
gummiboot operates on the EFI System Partition (ESP)
only. Configuration file fragments, kernels, initrds, other
EFI images need to reside on the ESP. Linux kernels need to
be built with CONFIG_EFI_STUB to be able to be directly
executed as an EFI image.
See the Grub2 help text for details on preparing an EFI
capable disk image using Gummiboot: the instructions are
exactly the same, except that the Gummiboot configuration
files will be located in /loader/ inside the EFI partition.
