Hi Martin,

Thanks for the feedback. That sounds good for scope expansion, kind of like
an automated rEFInd-like functionality. I'll explore in which ways this may
be achieved, then get back to you

Best,
Igor Svilenkov Bozic

Hi Igor, your proposal sounds good so far.<br>
<br>
How about adding a close related but different additional goal as a possibl=

stretch goal (in case you get everything done quick enough)?<br>
<br>
The proper setup of (U)EFI boot options will make it possible to<br>
enhance sysinst to allow automatic installation of NetBSD side by side<br>
on the same disk with other already installed OSes, relying on the<br>
(U)EFI boot selector to pick a system to boot. Strictly speaking this<br>
is not part of the original project, but it is a simple extensions and<br>
will be easy once you are comfortable with the sysinst internals<br>
required for the boot option setup.<br>
