Embedding com32 modules and ldlinux.sys into one file
...I agree with HPA that there's likely nothing this accomplishes.
Burning the boot loader into the system firmware chip (BIOS or UEFI)
means it's now difficult to tune/upgrade, not protected from changes.
Security is a broad topic. It's about protecting _something_ from
_who/what_ doing _an_action_ and/or observing when it might occur.

Hi
The bootloader will be protected from changes because it will be burned to a flash which is read only (by hardware).
That doesn't mean there can't be some other security holes...
I will check about loading the kernel as EF...
