Bare PC sample config ===================== 1. Build First select the appropriate target you want. For BIOS-based boot strategy: $ make pc_x86_64_bios_defconfig Or for EFI: $ make pc_x86_64_efi_defconfig Add any additional packages required and build: $ make 2. Write the pendrive The build process will create a pendrive image called sdcard.img in output/images. Write the image to a pendrive: $ dd if=output/images/disk.img of=/dev/sdc; sync Once it's done insert it into the target PC and boot. Remember that if said PC has another boot device you might need to select this alternative for it to boot. In the case of EFI boot you might need to disable Secure Boot from the setup as well. 3.
