## Boot
The HyperKit backend currently supports booting the
`kernel+initrd` output from `moby`, and EFI ISOs using the EFI firmware.
The HyperKit backend currently supports booting:
- `kernel+initrd` output from `linuxkit build`.
- `kernel+squashfs` output from `linuxkit build`.
- EFI ISOs using the EFI firmware.
You need to select the boot method manually using the command line
options. The default is `kernel+initrd`. `kernel+squashfs` can be
selected using `-squashfs` and to boot a ISO with EFI you have to
specify `-iso -uefi`.
The `kernel+initrd` uses a RAM disk for the root filesystem. If you
have RAM constraints or large images we recommend using either the
`kernel+squashfs` or the EFI ISO boot.
