Slitaz -- UEFI



HOWTO create a SliTaz LiveUSB for 64bit UEFI computers
http://doc.slitaz.org/en:guides:uefi
3. Installing an UEFI boot loader
You have now to install a boot loader compatible with UEFI; unfortunately, the grub2-efi package in the SliTaz repository is only for 32bit computers.
A simple way consists of using the boot loader from another 64bit distro :-/. I used Ubuntu but it should exist within some other smaller ISOs.
compiled grub2( bootx64.efi) instead of another 64bit distro
It works for me.

# file bootx64.efi
bootx64.efi: PE32+ executable (EFI application) x86-64 (stripped to external PDB), for MS Windows
 
# unzip -l bootx64.efi.zip
