Dec 25, 2012 The grub2 efi bootloader in the attached tarball can be used to boot from HD or USB, the grub.cfg will need adding a menuentry to boot from HD, and the /efi directory contents may need to be merged with existing rEFIt /efi contents.

About A subset of the Glorious PC Master Race, the Linux Master Race promotes the glorious operating systems that run using the free and open source Linux kernel. Linux differs from the disgustingly proprietary operating systems like Windows and Mac OS by being open and freely influenced by anyone with the necessary desire and abilities. Why use Linux?
• Less malware than OSX and Windows. • It's faster and more efficient than OSX and Windows.
• No bloatware included. • You can make your desktop look however you want.. • You can update all your computer's software with a single click. • Runs on pretty much anything, no matter how old it is. • You can see every line of code it uses, so you know there's no NSA backdoor.. There are also no keyloggers built-in, • It costs exactly $0.
• According to Gabe Newell, it's the future of PC gaming (as is ). • By using it, you ascend even higher into the • • Rules We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things: #1) Respect the privacy of others. #2) Think before you type. #3) With great power comes great responsibility.

I use Windows or Mac alongside Linux.
Can I join the Linux Master Race? • Alas, currently the Mac squids, and even more so the Windows krill, do not realize the inevitable triumph of the Linux OS. This is an unfortunate fact, and it may force many penguins to use the crude systems of the seafood. Even if persecuted in this way, as long as one believes in the supremacy of Linux, one may become a member of the Linux Master Race. One day the trials will end and we shall rise above all, but use the systems of the squids and krill for what you need and only for what you need, and persevere in the hope of the future.

Well but that's kind of the thing UEFI is great for. Let's say GRUB breaks. Gets completely overwritten. You have to use another computer to write a rescue image to a disc or flash drive, then boot from that so you can repair it. Or at the very least you have to manually type in the commands to tell GRUB where to boot from. On the flip side, if something sets itself higher in the boot order than rEFInd, you hit F2 or DEL or whatever, put it back, and go on your merry way.
That's a big reason I like it, it works with your system and doesn't have to fight for control of the MBR. That said I guess that EFI version of GRUB would also do the trick if you really like GRUB. This post wasn't really intended to be a GRUB vs rEFInd thing anyway, more of a BIOS vs UEFI kind of thing. If GRUB breaks (and I broke it several, if not dozen times), I know how to troubleshoot & fix it all the way using any live image ISO boot, including rewriting MBR, fixing /boot part, writing custom grub.cfg etc. On UEFI, I have zero idea on what to do if something breaks.
I should probably learn, but you know how it goes.busy, busy, busy. EDIT: Mkay, just did a quick couple of reads on the topic.
So it seems, in order to maintain a healthy multi-boot UEFI system, one should: • convert/use GPT for disk containing EFI partition • create EFI part, formatted as FAT32, marked as bootable • Install EFI boot manager, one per OS, per choice. There's no single boot loader handling all operating system, each one has its own, one per directory under /EFI. Should be done by mounting EFI part somewhere and running OS-specific bootloader install procedure • fixing should be done by using step above for every OS that needs boot fixing • backup is simply copying EFI folder elsewhere Did I get this right? If so, I'll probably start tinkering with it since it sounds simpler than GRUB.
