Super Grub2 Disk test in virtual machine

From Super Grub Disk Wiki
Jump to navigationJump to search

Introduction

Super Grub2 Disk needs to be tested to see if EFI mode was builtin in it or not. So you need a virtual machine with an EFI capable boot firmware (not sure of the right technical name).

Virtualbox

  • Select Virtual machine
  • Settings
  • System
  • Enable EFI (only special OS)
  • OK

KVM and Ovmf

This is to force an EFI-only system so that you know that it actually works.

Requisites

apt-get install kvm ovmf

Test KVM and Ovmf
