OK,  I think at this point it is not wanting to even boot the old disk in EFI 
mode.  Maybe because the old disk is no longer in SATA port 0 (/dev/sda).  It 
is not wanting to boot the new disk in EFI mode and won't boot from the 
Optical disk in EFI mode (at least I cannot figure out how to do that).
