Hi,
I have managed to keep everything pretty standard in my installation on my
T470p.
* Turn off SecureBoot
* dd iso (qubes 4.0) to USB-stick
* add rEFInd to another USB-stick
* boot on the rEFInd USB-stick and start the installer.
I struggle with TPM, but I figure that I should go through the guide over here:
https://github.com/tklengyel/xen-uefi to sign the xen-efi and get TPM.
Regards
Josef
