I had a quick look at diskimage-builder tool.

It looks to me that you always build MBR based image with one partition.
This will have to be changed as AArch64 is UEFI based platform (both
baremetal and VM) so disk needs to use GPT for partitioning and EFI
System Partition needs to be present (with grub-efi binary on it).

I am aware that you like to build disk images on your own but have you
considered using virt-install with generated preseed/kickstart files? It
would move several arch related things (like bootloader) to be handled
by distribution rules instead of handling them again in code.


Sent a patch to make it choose proper grub package on aarch64.
