UEFI supports 'driver' entries in addition to Boot#### entries, which can be programmed (using efibootmgr under Linux, for instance) to point to a UEFI driver on the ESP that needs to be loaded at boot, before any boot options are evaluated. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
