From 3e2b026da3ab24366f2693e5b2c6445db07495ac Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?utf8?q?Zbigniew=20J=C4=99drzejewski-Szmek?= Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2025 11:31:12 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] man/systemd-boot: say that /EFI/systemd/drivers is for hardware In aad0d11e7c6f1f7dcc7b00173140c74b8abf88cc we stopped supporting XBOOTLDR with a different fs driver. This was the primary example that comes to mind when we talk about loading filesystem drivers in the firmware. Since we don't want people to do load such drivers, use a different example. --- man/systemd-boot.xml | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/man/systemd-boot.xml b/man/systemd-boot.xml index c465d4f4f35..8e385033027 100644 --- a/man/systemd-boot.xml +++ b/man/systemd-boot.xml @@ -386,8 +386,8 @@ During initialization, systemd-boot automatically loads all driver files placed in the /EFI/systemd/drivers/ directory of the ESP.
