Re: Reinstalling the bootloader

So just to refresh my understanding of your setup:

you have a non-bootable system with a standard uefi dual-boot?

and you can't seem to get the bootloader (grub) to re-install....

It's not for UEFI.

It would be good if someone who knows something could rewrite the GRUB_2 wiki page to
say that. And to stop referring to a release of Fedora that is no longer supported.  The
Unified Extensible Firmware Interface wiki page is rather outdated and unhelpful as well.
Surprisingly, the best information I could find about efibootmgr is in a page that is
actually about Fedup.

Here's what I've discovered:

If you have UEFI and you have run grub2-install, you need to un-do that by re-installing
grub2-efi:

yum reinstall grub2-efi

And since Windows on my system places itself first in the EFI boot list every time it
is booted, you need to run

efibootmgr -v   # (to learn Fedora's boot number)
efibootmgr -o <boot#1>,<boot#2>,...  # (to choose which system you want to boot by default)

If you want to see how Anaconda originally ran efibootmgr, you can look at
/var/log/anaconda/anaconda.program.log
