Bare metal kernel bootstrap not working due to empty bootstrap.cfg #297

Closed rick-masters closed 1 year ago

rick-masters commented 1 year ago

The kernel bootstrap does not work with bare metal. The cause is a that an empty bootstrap.cfg is created when bare metal option is selected. It's not clear from the commit history why this behavior exists. The config file is needed because it controls whether to perform kernel bootstrapping.

A PR is forthcoming which will generate bootstrap.cfg for bare metal.

If someone needs bootstrap.cfg to be empty for bare metal for some reason then the --no-create-config option is available for this purpose.
