   1. It's probably wrong to embed knowledge of even a   
   partition table in firmware, nevermind an entire file system.   
      
   2. The UEFI shell is a viable DOS-like OS in its own right - they   
   have put an entire OS into firmware and you can write applications   
   for it if you want. What I haven't found out is whether the shell   
   supports ANSI escape sequences.
