Booting - User device selection in U-Boot?
#2
I think the petitboot bootloader (also used on some POWER systems) would be a good fit here: https://github.com/open-power/petitboot.

It's a small linux program that scans all connected drives for grub, syslinux, etc. boot configurations and presents them in an ncurses TUI. It uses the kernel's kexec facility to boot the selected OS, so it should work OOTB on arm64.
