Use a UEFI boot manager, which is much simpler than GRUB. If you use systemd you already have one if you installed it with USE=3D"gnuefi". Otherwise use the standalone version, systemd-boot. Or you can use refind, but that is a bit more sugary. --=20 Neil Bothwick I'm not anti-social, I'm just not user friendly --Sig_/pwhOcC+YFdQDy1Bc=bggEdo Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCAAdFiEEGfLZTV7dXdQXh/dDdCdyyQfftocFAlvPjdsACgkQdCdyyQff todsog//f5iVRYJxH8C53VHivhKYoYJGx7X6cKjjQk9scxT4ldCvA1cg7f5uzO9H A+jFlSlQaugHHHOJCOsj+bi9yPY713EEmDgnfzICO1C24NJfteuRo99nwNVjwMZz ONuuABIuAA8aQ5Xsshjf61bffA8hKxboHNmpq0IAyqTJyNdOT7nETq1BRG+B9pe2 WhRp5b3aFmLm3FimmDKE2zbj8oeTQR18bRSVAN+Oi6mMD2fznqg42CZpr0HrP1qn 4gzs7xwrBGekJFR7tKokLHA3Hl3m8VwHGigIKrWf5dXlANzQkL7O6thW+U/8CnfX ke1J8Zy4uboemEK1fw2fgXBR7nRp1T3u6gSp5z/MgJFMhL2eA8bbm4Bj/3R+he+Y 7eSRkQq3n9zMVk77nkUxz2ypW7Y8OHl6foY7GkiNK0+VIZJrvSRetWNfiIs5S5xS rsqb9MNYjeMiJ+mqOAiK3LC4PeZ9Ub5iU+1MYKGFSBKyrUmS/NVaYGYdg8kv4oJ4 PwEJqygWg6G0b5EFhvevcvyK5czD3Pq/TNT/EI5b43Hhh2I1WNqLpNdhLvQTsuRg 1hpoSYZqNZdypLdaZXGwxy2503fQ54ebxSOQqurLJ5V4RNW1N5KV+11+Ppftb2XW dMPvX1z3azsATE4TIARbiv5OKxS0KiVUEWQP+kd5jM1sOtdjGrA= =DUHy -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/pwhOcC+YFdQDy1Bc=bggEdo--
