Worked like a champ. Thanks.
BTW. If writing about UEFI and booting in a hint, would you care to
author it with me?
I've learned a few more things about EFI variables since I got my system
to boot and for those you like to use Grub, I think it's a matter of
manipulating the "secure" variables and registering with the firmware.
That's still theoretical to me right now, but I need to do the
experimentation. I'm going to do that after I get sound and printing
working in my LFS. Gonna make another partition and copy my {,B}LFS
filesystem to it and play from there.
