I think we can list bootorder among with other VM information provided
by GET method and update it using PUT method
GET /vms/<name>
{ ...
bootorder: [...]
}
PUT /vms/<name> {bootorder: [<new values>]
/plugins/kimchi/<VM NAME>/bootorder
{[{"dev": "hd"}]} or a list: {[{"dev": "hd"},
{"dev": "cdrom"}]}
Doubts:
How we can edit the bootloader? Like the list above or a kind of fixed
list?
Libvirt provides bootmenu too, which allows users to pick a device in
the beginning. Must have it?
It would be good to have bootmenu enabled too.
I think there is an issue for it too and it is assigned to you. So if
you want to send a patch for it, I am fine! Just do not mix things. One
patch set for boot order and other, to enable boot menu.
