This 'wait for keypress' allows to read those messages before the screen gets overwritten by whatever is launched next. recent update (new in 2025-05) is to launch the boot menu app instead of efi shell or firmware setup app, so when something goes wrong the user gets a menu with choices instead of being dropped somewhere automatically. This also allows the host (i.e. qemu) to allow or deny access to efi shell / firmware setup. take care, Gerd -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
