@Thomas,
If you would be so kind, would you please remind me (us)...
Is this "32MiB" a limitation related to the UEFI specs in any way? Or
is it relevant for BIOS (non-EFI) too?
Is this limitation related to the El Torito "emulation" methods/types
(01/02/03)?
Is this limitation also valid / relevant for the first/default entry in
the Boot Catalog? Or is it only relevant for the second+ entries (i.e.
the non-default entries in the boot catalog)?
Would you please clarify the meaning of your qualifier, "_soft_ size
limit"?
TIA,
Ady.
