Thanks for this. As far as UEFI and testing the hint, do you have any
students who might be interested in an "extra credit" project? (said
the spider to the fly.) I can't test it either because of the HP hard
code stuff. I'm going to post on -support in a bit and ask if there is
anyone who is willing to help with the testing.
I've been thinking about what I said here. The statement "I can't test
it...," is not complete. I can test, and have tested, everything up to,
but not including, powering up and defaulting to the grub screen after I
upgraded, not a fresh install, to Win-8.1. I can take the place of the
default boot manager and select the boot loader that I want to use.
However, the engineer in me says that this is not adequate to say, "This
procedure works."
I don't want to write a hint that has not been tested in its entirety.
This is why I'd like to enlist one or two people to test the procedures
in the hint.
