You didn't say where I'm supposed to find it, but I assume it's meant to be in the boot partition (i.e., the first vfat partition)? This is what it looks like: # mount -o ro /dev/sdn1 /mnt # ls -R /mnt /mnt: EFI /mnt/EFI: BOOT /mnt/EFI/BOOT: BOOTAA64.EFI grub.cfg > My take on this: > It seems you changed the FW of the RPi3 to boot from USB and > therefore it just > does that.

In fact, I never did anything with the firmware on any on my Raspberry Pis, because so far I never had to. Can you give me a hint on how to change the FW so that it boots from the SD card? > > Can someone explain this behaviour? Is my Pi3 broken, or should I > > file a bug? It's still not clear to me whether this is a bug in the Tumbleweed installer, or a problem with my Pi3.
