Research direction
Review the README and the real-hardware boot steps in the issue, including legacy/CSM booting, the cargo bootimage command, and writing the image to USB. Add a clearly formatted README section if appropriate, preserving the relevant commands and making the hardware prerequisites understandable.

Description
Hello everyone,
I saw some issues regarding this.
And i self had also some trouble getting this to work.
To boot on real hardware make sure you have LEGACY booting enabled or CSM.
UEFI wont work.
Like on default on my PC you can on default only boot UEFI
After that just do this
cargo clean
cargo bootimage --target yourtarget.json --release
cd target/x86_64-youros/release
sudo dd if=bootimage-youros.bin of=/dev/yourusb bs=4M status=progress && sync
and then boot the usb stick trough your bootmenu
Hopes that helped.
This is not an issue this is just an "post" to help others with this.
You can maybe add this to the README (in an better format)
