From 0c7596621e313bfcfbacb288e768c7150f5de9e0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matt Fleming Date: Fri, 16 Mar 2012 12:03:13 +0000 Subject: x86, efi: Add EFI boot stub documentation Since we can't expect every user to read the EFI boot stub code it seems prudent to have a couple of paragraphs explaining what it is and how it works. The "initrd=" option in particular is tricky because it only understands absolute EFI-style paths (backslashes as directory separators), and until now this hasn't been documented anywhere. This has tripped up a couple of users.
