Subject: Understanding how guix selects a bootloader variant
Date: Sun, 03 Nov 2024 17:38:11 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <96bf3465db600e87e3a618aaf93667b46d460804.camel@platen-software.de> (raw)

I am currently trying to build a virtual machine image for powerpc64le.
So I intend to fix known errors, starting with the bootloader:
configure: error: platform "efi" is not supported for target CPU
"powerpc64le". The right bootloader variant for anything powerpc,
starting from G4 is openfirmware. Here is some part of my config:

(bootloader (bootloader-configuration
                (bootloader grub-bootloader)
                (targets '("/dev/sda"))))

Now I am trying to understand where guix selects BIOS/UEFI for a VM
when using grub-bootloader.
