machine bios does not provide any means I can see to boot one installed system over another past secure vs legacy. if you refer bios to EFI, how do you access w/o using efibootmgr?
neither in boot bios menu?
now maybe I am being dense, but what is "boot bios menu"?
I don't know if there is a universal name for what he's described, but surely this is it: https://www.disk-image.com/faq-bootmenu.htm boot menu column.
in the machine bios I can set which "dev" boot before others such as> optical/dvd/usb/hard-drive/... but not which operating system, unless I actually plug in a device high in order.
On my newest Asus, a UEFI Kaby Lake purchased 9 months ago, @POST screen: F8 = "Please select boot device:" DEL = enter BIOS setup Boot -> UEFI Hard drive priorities # set default boot "device" On my newest Gigabyte, a UEFI Kaby Lake purchased 15 months ago, @POST screen: F12 = "Please select boot device:" DEL = enter BIOS setup BIOS -> Boot Option Priorities -> Boot Option #1 # set default boot device In both, "Please select boot device" really means select UEFI boot entry corresponding to the head of the BootOrder in efibootmgr output. These correspond to selection of boot "device" in pre-UEFI PCs, which on my Dells is also F12. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science. Team OS/2 ** Reg.
