Linux Plumbers Conf 2013

One Line Summary

Abstract

The Boot Loader Specification is an attempt to unify the kernel and OS discovery logic of the various boot loaders, and make sure that various local OS installations can share a single boot loader without hassles. In this session we want to discuss what the current status of the BLS is and what the next steps are.
