BBS is *technically*​ part of the PnP BIOS specification, so doesn't necessarily apply to UEFI boot, but I don't know how BBS order may be used by some implementations to describe uefi boot attempt order.

I may have used the wrong term but SMC Bioses, in full UEFI mode still mention UEFI BBS Network Priorities for instance.

ipxe.efi last I recall does not really pay attention to 'what device executed me?' because the overall design is "I am probably being executed from a chip on a nic or from a usb mass storage device".  Not really focused on chainloading.

Got it: indeed ipxe.org states

"ipxe all native drivers, commonly used for usb based boot media or where iPXE is not used in a chainloaded manner."

hence both the "full" init (no chainloading) and all nics init.

Thanks again (sorry for the slow catching up ;-))
