      From: muta...@gmail.com              Actually, why can't the firmware have its own SD drive?       Those can be overwritten lots of times.              And why didn't they make the MBR have a signature of       66AA to indicate 16-bit mode UEFI-style, 77AA to       indicate 32-bit mode UEFI-style and 88AA to indicate       64-bit mode UEFI-style?              That way the firmware doesn't need to mandate and       have knowledge of the FAT format.              It would have been great to have 7c00 entered in PM32.              BFN.
