Support to SWM Files

[lfernandes]

Are there plans to add support to SWM files?

Like:

kernel wimboot
initrd  ipxe/BCD  BCD
initrd  ipxe/boot.sdi  boot.sdi
initrd ipxe/boot.swm boot.swm
initrd ipxe/boot2.swm boot2.swm
initrd ipxe/boot3.swm boot3.swm
boot

Thanks!

From what I remember .swm can not be used with a boot index? Can you boot swm files with windows bootmgr?

@NiKiZe as far as I know, yes, you can boot SWM files.

You can install from swm, not boot. (Maybe there is a missunderstanding about the difference of install.wim and boot.wim?)

However, if you can create instructions for how to create a ISO or USB with a multipart boot.swm which you have tested and works. (Important part is on how the boot.swm is generated and what is needed in the BCD hive) then maybe 😉
