[Question] Support to run Multiple OS off grub bootloader? #150

I would like to know. whether Is it possible to run Grub bootloader with multiple OS side by side with EDK2 Firmware on a Orangepi 5 Plus or RK3588 device?

Like Combinations ArchLinux Mainline - USB/eMMC Ubuntu Mainline - NVMe

(or)

Windows 11 - USB or eMMC Ubuntu Mainline - NVMe

I hope someone can answer this question whether this is supported. This question may be reference to someone else looking for the same info. or README can be updated to include this information

should be the same as dual(multi) booting on x86 you just have to find UEFI images with the right kernel

Install "os-prober" package under Linux. Each time Grub configuration will be updated you should get entries for other OSes installed in your system.

Remember that SD/eMMC may not be visible under mainline Linux kernel so 'os-prober' will not find those systems.

Other option is to press Esc key during boot - each OS probably adds boot entry which you can choose in "Boot Manager" menu in UEFI setup.
