Limine

Notes

  • limine bios-install can only be used for bios and not for UEFI
  • parted mkpart primary only works for msdos (BIOS/MBR), otherwise for GPT it will be set as name/PARTLABEL and not PART-TYPE
  • limine does not support booting from ext4 directly when in BIOS/MBR mode

IMG (BIOS/MBR) (Deprecated?)
