   Ok, in the same way that the computer reads BOOTX64.EFI,   
   why can't it read a whole stack of drivers.EFI in the same   
   directory?   
      
   I was going to suggest that the firmware have its own disk   
   drive, but if it wants to share, I guess that's ok, since it is   
   already mandated most of the time anyway.
