I am now walking through the install step by step. Initially, it is suggested (in the Beginner's Guide) to test whether efivars is mounted. I ran
mount -t efivarfs efivarfs /sys/firmware/efi/efivars And got this message: mount: mount point /sys.....efivars does not exist. I don't knolw whether this is good or bad news. I tested for UEFI in Windows. The result was positive. This is kind of what I mean, that there are so many shades and variations. On Thu, May 1, 2014 at 3:45 PM, Alan E.
