Nah, again, the firmware boot menu still has only 4 entries:
opensuse_main-secureboot (SanDisk SDSSDH31000G) Windows Boot Manager (SanDisk SDSSDH31000G) opensuse_aux-secureboot (SanDisk SDSSDH31000G) opensuse (SanDisk SDSSDH31000G)
and the entries for this install are gone from efibootmgr:
If firmware refuses to keep these entries there is not much we can do from openSUSE side.
I know. :-(
See if there is possibility to define boot entries in BIOS setup - they may be kept.
I'll check. Not now, it is running a big rsync (the purpose of this external disk is to do backups of the internal disk).
Otherwise your only option is to is ESP on the main disk for Leap 15.3, so all boot entries are on the same disk partition.
Err... sorry, what is ESP? Ah, EFI system partition. How do I tell YaST, running on /dev/sdbX, to write to ESP on /dev/sdaX? Can I just umount /dev/sdb1, mount /dev/sda1 in its place (/boot/efi), and then tell yast to write the ESP thing? Can that work? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.2 x86_64 at Telcontar)
