Abstract:
Systems and methods for reducing problems and disadvantages associated with multiple boot methods are disclosed. In accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure, an information handling system comprises a processor and a memory communicatively coupled to the processor. The information handling system also comprises an access controller communicatively coupled to the processor. The access controller is configured to retrieve non-bootable executable instructions and combine the non-bootable executable instructions with a boot loader associated with a boot method to generate a bootable image associated with the boot method. The access controller is further configured to present the bootable image to the information handling system such that the bootable image is configured to be booted by the information handling system using the boot method.
