You can't do that. You have to boot OI in BIOS mode.
The loader works in UEFI mode, but OI does not. Usually you are
offered a choice at boot time. Chose BIOS mode.
Alright. I went to the BIOS and changed it to Legacy boot.
Bounced the box. But the problem remains. The only perceivable
difference. Is that when it booted to the OI UEFI firmware,
it changed to the correct resolution: 1920x1200. But after it
left the firmware, it went to 800x600. With legacy boot, it was
800x600, and then the same path as before. :-(
Thank you again, Gary for taking the time to help/respond.
