#8633 iPXE Booting Fedora aka BFO, can't boot on UEFI
Closed: Will Not/Can Not fix 4 years ago by kevin. Opened 4 years ago by bam.

Tried CD image from https://boot.fedoraproject.org/download, doesn't boot on Virtualbox with UEFI firmware. With BIOS firmware, it boots but breaks at start due error.

Is this project still supported?

Oh, it's just https://boot.fedoraproject.org/ still alive and doesn't mention any sign of the retiring, so I was just confused..
Still looking for a method to install your distro without additional media then.. :)
