Startup Disk for linux
I have written a simple beginning to a Startup Disk util for linux, i call PRAMBoot. It has 3 boot partition options hardcoded, which should be modified to fit your system. I have them set up to boot MacOS, linux, and a safe backup linux. The location code is a 16 bit representation of the location of the boot partition. I'm not sure what they mean, but running this program with no params will read what it currently is set to. This works with my PDQ, and i dont know if it will work with any others. Requires nvram support.
I dont know if anything like this already exists.
I wrote this because i got tired of having to modify my miboot partition to boot macos.
