Hello,
So I just tried install DFly (v5.0.0-release) on a VirtualBox machine (host:
Debian Linux amd64 testing) with *EFI* turned on. (NOTE: I installed the
Oracle VirtualBox extension pack; I didn't check whether VirtualBox supports
EFI without this extension pack)
I used the installer with default disk layout, UEFI + HAMMER2, and everything
just works. I successfully boot into the newly install DFly (with the
installation CD ejected). The attached image is the screenshot at the boot
loader phase. And the followings are some more information.
