Create the file systems:įormat your EFI partition as VFAT: $ mkfs.fat -F32 /dev/sdxyįormat your android partition as EXT4: $ mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdxz Create an EFI partition as the first partition on your disk. Make the partition table of your chosen disk GPT. Check that you actually have EFI firmware with efivars. You don’t need the iomem=relaxed parameter anymore. Reboot into your linux environment on the target machine.
REFIND BOOT MANAGER INSTALLING FULL
Decent boot managers let you edit kernel params.Ĭhoose option 3, “Install/Update Full ROM Firmware”. Ensure that this environment was booted with the kernel param iomem=relaxed. Run some linux environment on the target machine. At this point you should be able to boot linux with SeaBIOS.
