If that's internal disk, you should be able to configure UEFI to use /boot/efi/EFI/qubes. In fact, installer should do that for you... You can do that either in UEFI setup (some vendors have include it somewhere near boot order setting), or using efibootmgr from within the system. You want to configure it to boot xen.efi. As for efibootmgr, see the last step here: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/uefi-troubleshooting/#installation-finished-but-qubes-boot-option-is-missing-and-xencfg-is-empty If that doesn't work with your UEFI, your option is to move EFI/qubes/* into EFI/BOOT/ after each update. The path is included in relevant packages, so you can't just configure it different. But you can move bigger files (xen.efi, vmlinuz, initramfs) instead of copying to save some space. - -- Best Regards, Marek Marczykowski-Górecki Invisible Things Lab A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
