[Buildroot] pc defconfig image does not boot

[Tudor Holton]

Yes, my apologies.  I missed a detail.  Peter is right, we need to know
what your target machine is like. 

e.g. My x86_64 boards all have a requirement to authorise the boot EFI. 
You have to go into the BIOS and enable the buildroot option in the boot
list or it will ignore it. 

If you have other things like Secure Boot on then that won't work
either. 

Cheers,
Tudor.
