BIOS emulation

Hi,

I’ve read your LCA paper, which convinced me to stick to my No to EFI. So I’ve got a question.

Is there a BIOS emulation which I could just run on EFI/UEFI? Something like User Mode SeaBIOS (thinking of UML)? In the Secure Boot case, of course, assuming it were signed, but nevertheless. Something to run Linux 2.0 on, or Minix 3, Haiku, classic BSD, etc… (yes, I use them occasionally) or even MS-DOS/DR DOS?

Also, out of curiosity, what’s the efiemu{32,64}.o in GNU GRUB 2 for?
