If get google-drive "mounting" support into grub, then I'll concede. This just places the rootfs on some strange place. btw, I have a project in my drawer, to place rootfs of my NixOS on IPFS.

This is easy to fix. We just call the first kernel a boot loader and kexec a new kernel from google drive
