+
+FreeBSD supports multiple architectures, file systems, and disk-partitioning schemes.
+I am trying to write a Lua script which would allow for testing boot loader of all the architecture combinations supported in the first and second-tier support, and provide a report on any broken combinations and expected functionality.
+If time permits, further exploration could be done to integrate the script into the existing build infrastructure (either Jenkins or Github Actions) to generate a comprehensive summary of the test results.
+
+Currently any changes made by developer might inhibit the ability of the operating system to boot in some specific environment.
+These scripts provide assurance that changes do not cause regressions for the tested environments.
+The scripts are designed to be efficient and much less expensive than a full make universe required today.
+These attributes allow developers to routinely use the script, and allow integration into the CI pipelines without undue cost.
+
+Currently script related work seems to be on track, but certainly ahead I will need to find all different kinds of QEMU recipes to test different environments.
+If anyone has any kind of working QEMU recipe for currently released versions of FreeBSD, feel free to send to me via mail at smk@FreeBSD.org .
