Thank for the feedback,
May I shuld have say something.
When I got the SSD, there was a Ubuntu install taht I destroyed, but I kept the 2 first
partitions:
Device Start End Sectors Size Type
/dev/sdb1 2048 1538047 1536000 750M EFI System
/dev/sdb2 1538048 12023807 10485760 5G Microsoft reserved
/dev/sdb1 2048 1538047 1536000 750M EFI System
/dev/sdb2 1538048 12023807 10485760 5G Microsoft reserved
I can manage the fstab if necessary. But I though that the installer (?) would have use the
fstab to create entry point for the boot. Am I wrong?
I have a /boot partition with the efi directory.
From the Bios, I can select UEFI or legacy, any of them do see a boot partition (except that of the USB key, non EFI).
(When ubuntu was installed, I had the option to select the Ubuntu distribution).
Which tools say to the bios that there is a bootable partition?
Thank again.

Hello,
I need help!
I got a machine with 1 ssd and on HD.
The ssd shows up in sdb, with the HD shows up in sda.
I could not change from the BIOS the order.
The machine is UEFI, then I guess that it does not really matter.
No, fstab is setup to use the UUID or LVM name so /dev/sd<x> shouldn't matter.
I want to boot on the ssd
I installed fedora from the lice cd on the ssd. but it does not boot
because the distribution is not seen.
The installer should have created a boot entry in UEFI, can you verify that you actually got a UEFI install?
Thus, what to do now?
Some things you can check:
1. The the partition table get created as GPT (EFI default) or MSDOS (BIOS default).
2. Was an EFI partition created? Usually around 200MB and VFAT/FAT32 formatted.
In /etc/fstab it would mounted to /boot/efi but probably mounted by UUID so you'll have to use the blkid command.
If the partition table is MSDOS and/or no EFI partition then you got a BIOS and not an EFI install. You may need to check your BIOS settings.
I cannot install a grub on the ssd because there is no BIOS Boot
Partition on this SSD. Do I need to create one?
No, a BIOS_BOOT partition is only used to boot when you have a BIOS computer but GPT partition table (as far as I know anyway).
Thanks,
Richard
