Yes, copying grubx64.efi to "\EFI\BOOT\" does get the guest up and running (I used mfsbsd from a different VM to manipulate the EFI partition). Moreover, I waited (for a long time!) for the EFI interactive shell prompt and with a few commands: Shell> fs0 FS0:\> cd \EFI\centos FS0:\EFI\centos\> grubx64.efi I also managed to boot the guest OS all right. But naturally, the latter fix worked till next reboot only, I don't know how to save the new EFI setup in the guest's configuration. The hardware UFI BIOSes I've seen so far (not many, I must admit) permitted me to save which efi binary I would prefer to boot next time. > That would also tell us that we have > what is actually a common efi system failure problem in that > stuff looks in the wrong place.

I would very much appreciate a link to some such instruction about uefi-edk2-bhyve: namely how and where it looks for what on boot, and if I can create a menu for example, or change its startup procedure. I can guess that it looks for a FAT16 partition in the GPT with the type "efi" but the rest is a mystery for me. Why is it trying to find "grubx64.efi" and not the default "boot64.efi" (which is present), for example? -- Victor Sudakov, VAS4-RIPE, VAS47-RIPN 2:5005/49@fidonet http://vas.tomsk.ru/
