It sounds like your firmware does not support setting of EFI boot variables. Fully functional firmware should *not* need files in the removable media path (EFI/boot like that). See https://wiki.debian.org/UEFI#Force_grub-efi_installation_to_the_removable_media_path for more information, and the correct way to work around this issue in your firmware. -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. st...@einval.com "...In the UNIX world, people tend to interpret `non-technical user' as meaning someone who's only ever written one device driver." -- Daniel Pead
