[PATCH SLOF 4/5] disk-label: add support for booting from GPT FAT partition

Mon Jun 22 17:59:46 AEST 2015


For a GPT+LVM combination disk, older bootloader that does not support
LVM, cannot load kernel from LVM.

The patch add support to read from BASIC_DATA UUID
partition. Installer has installed CHRP-BOOT config on a FAT file
system.
