UEFI?
Hi! Thanks for this great blog series. It's really awesome and helping me a lot in learning how an OS works. Do you have any plans of adding support for UEFI boot? I assume the assembly would be much simpler since UEFI setup alot of that for you, including preparing a graphical framebuffer to draw on. As for the UEFI boot loader, I assume grub-efi can be used to load a kernel from a fat/ext/ufs partition. Or, perhaps the kernel can be put on the ESP and loaded directly by the UEFI BIOS. If I find the time, maybe I'll play around with it and do a PR. Just wanted to make sure we're not doing double work..
