Ah, OK. I did # mount -t msdos NAME=EFI-system /efi # cd /efi # mkdir efi # mkdir efi/boot # cp /usr/mdec/bootx64.efi efi/boot/ # cd / # umount /efi I'll give a try later, next time i can open up the case. +--------------------+--------------------------+----------------------+ | Paul Goyette | PGP Key fingerprint: | E-mail addresses: | | (Retired) | FA29 0E3B 35AF E8AE 6651 | paul%whooppee.com@localhost | | Software Developer | 0786 F758 55DE 53BA 7731 | pgoyette%netbsd.org@localhost | | & Network Engineer | | pgoyette99%gmail.com@localhost | +--------------------+--------------------------+----------------------+
