</div>I still have been meaning to make snponly.efi work from non chian booted scenarios (e.g. local vfat) but snponly.efi works fine with these two patches.<br><br></div>Perhaps one day Michael will have spare time to double check my work, make sure I did it right, probably fudge it a tad, and merge it. In the meantime it's been working swimmingly for me.<br>

To fix that I tried installing the protocols onto a new handle (initially NULL) and then loading the image, however the image never finds any files to read. So I tried doing this on the efi_image_handle itself. And this failed again with none of these protocols even being found on the device handle of the new image. I also tried using any efi_pci_device, but none is found.</span><br style="font-family:Verdana,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:18px">
