Has anyone started working on UEFI support in cobbler? I'm guessing we

co-exist with pxe and efi entries.
Thoughts?
Hey Bill, I'm going to take a stab at implementing this but I'm
literally going from square one on all things UEFI / PXE etc. Could
you run through a higher level newb friendly description of what UEFI
support is desired, and/or perhaps braindump what you think needs to
happen in Cobbler?
I'm gathering this is a completely separate but similar mechanism to
pxe, we'll do a test for option arch = 00:02 in dhcpd.conf and use a
different image to load for uefi, where does this image come from? It
looks like pxelinux.0 gets copied out of a handful of possible
locations in pxegen.py.
Do we need to write configuration files similar to
/var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/ for the various Cobbler profiles? What
would these files look like?
Any help/additional info you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Devan
