So, I > added it as you have it. But, I'm curious. What does it do? According to the bootctl manual page: "A copy of systemd-boot will be stored as the EFI default/fallback loader at /EFI/Boot/boot*.efi. A systemd-boot entry in the EFI boot variables is created and added to the top of the boot order list." I strongly suspect the configuration file, as above, then enables the boot loader to find the kernel and the initrd. Thus the start-up order is: EFI firmware -> boot loader -> kernel. and the kernel is not booted directly by the EFI firmware in this configuration, but by the *.efi boot loader executable specified in the EFI boot variable. _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://linux-speakup.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/speakup
