Abstract
Examples relate to a method, a computer program, an apparatus, and a computer system for launching at least one boot loader. A computer-implemented method for launching at least one boot loader comprises launching (310) an emulation environment boot loader, wherein the emulation environment boot loader comprises an operating system kernel that is launched as part of the emulation environment boot loader, hosting (320), by the operating system kernel, an UEFI emulation environment, and launching (330, 340), inside the UEFI emulation environment, at least one subsequent boot loader.
Claims14
A computer-implemented method for launching at least one boot loader, the method comprising:
- launching an emulation environment boot loader, wherein the emulation environment boot loader comprises an operating system kernel that is launched as part of the emulation environment boot loader;
- hosting, by the operating system kernel, an Unified Extensible Firmware Interface, UEFI, emulation environment;
- and
- launching, inside the UEFI emulation environment, at least one subsequent boot loader.
A non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon a program having a program code for performing, when the computer program is executed on a computer, a processor, or a programmable hardware component, a method, the method comprising:
- launching an emulation environment boot loader, wherein the emulation environment boot loader comprises an operating system kernel that is launched as part of the emulation environment boot loader;
- hosting, by the operating system kernel, an Unified Extensible Firmware Interface, UEFI, emulation environment;
- and
- launching, inside the UEFI emulation environment, at least one subsequent boot loader.
