Re: Not sure if this is the correct place.... (laptop, dual-boot EFI)

Here's a write-up on it -- it was /much /simpler than I expected and unlike my X220 didn't require screwing with group policy for Bitlocker to coexist with a dual-boot environment. https://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=234936 Feel free to grab/reproduce/link to/whatever; hope this helps others.

Nevermind! I set the "-g" flag on the provider and voila.  Up she comes; the loader figured out that it had to prompt for the password and it was immediately good. Now THAT'S easy compared with the convoluted BS I had to do (two partitions, fully "by-hand" install, etc) for 11 on my X220. Of

Re: Not sure if this is the correct place.... (laptop, dual-boot EFI)

Further question  does boot1.efi (which I assume has to be placed on the EFI partition and then something like rEFInd can select it) know how to handle a geli-encrypted primary partition (e.g. for root/boot so I don't need an unencrypted /boot partition), and if so how do I tell it that's the c

Re: Not sure if this is the correct place.... (laptop, dual-boot EFI)

I'm just booting the installer, going to do this on my X1 Carbon (5th gen), and I'm planning to use the efibootmgr entry first (which is sufficient for booting), and later I might add rEFInd if I feel like it. I'll be posting my steps online, I can post the link once it's out there if you're intere

Not sure if this is the correct place.... (laptop, dual-boot EFI)

-mobile appears to be pretty much a dead-letter, so I'm posting here... I have dual-boot working well on my Lenovo X220, and have for quite some time, between Win10 and FreeBSD 11.  This is set up for MBR however, not EFI. I just picked up an X1 Carbon Gen 6, which is an UEFI machine, with Win10
