From 48c335a46e03b46540a83a365fea76b92940927b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Todor Minchev Date: Tue, 13 Dec 2016 14:56:49 -0800 Subject: rmc: add support for alternative EFI bootloaders RMC was previously configured to work only with the systemd-boot EFI bootloader. With this commit we can specify alternative bootloaders by setting the RMC_BOOTLOADER variable in local.conf. If RMC_BOOTLOADER is not set systemd-boot will be used by default.
