I'm not sure if i recognize an efi boot option. The disk is       listed in the boot options by its part or model nummer.               GK> For being EFI-bootable, the installation will need an EFI-partition        GK> with boot loader.

And       i still do. I'm sorry to blame efi for that because it can't be a fault of efi       if efi is not used. But my perception is that this behavior change was with       the uefi bios introduction.              Regards              Kai              --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.4.7        * Origin: Monobox (2:240/77)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 10/0 1 15/0 90/1 102/401 103/1 705 105/81 106/201 114/709       SEEN-BY: 120/340 123/131 124/5016 129/305 330 331 153/250 757 7715       SEEN-BY: 154/10 203/0 214/22 218/0 1 109 501 640 650 700 810 830 840       SEEN-BY: 218/850 860 870 880 220/70 221/0 6 226/17 30 227/114 229/110       SEEN-BY: 229/111 112 113 206 317 400 424 426 428 452 470 550 616 664       SEEN-BY: 229/700 240/77 420 5138 5411 5824 5832 5853 266/512 267/800       SEEN-BY: 280/464 5003 282/1038 292/854 8125 301/1 310/31 317/3 320/219       SEEN-BY: 322/757 341/234 342/200 396/45 423/120 460/58 633/280 712/848       SEEN-BY: 770/1 100 330 340 772/210 220 230 2432/390 2452/250 2454/119       SEEN-BY: 5020/545       PATH: 240/77 5832 280/464 770/1 218/840 700 229/426           |
