I swear I feel like I'm responding to myself, but I'm really not that schizophrenic.
The boot order is changable from the firmware: http://www.elinux.org/Minnowboard:MaxBios#Change_Boot_Order Hit F2 during bootup, or if you can get to the UEFI shell type exit. There's a group internally that had the board network booting (I believe with UEFI vs. PXE) but I haven't done it myself, so I don't have exact steps. If you need I can probably do something and get that setup and a howto written (but it might take a bit to do) - John "Warthog9" Hawley On Tue, 2014-08-05 at 22:13 -0700, John Hawley wrote: > I managed to get the original MinnowBoards to netboot with version > 1.00 firmware, but it did take a bit of legwork - I'm using a GRUB > image, and there's a race condition between GRUB using the EFI network > stack and the UEFI firmware responding to ARP requests that causes > GRUB to hang.
