Hi Jerry,
first results follow.
I used for testing my comp built on Asus motherboard P8P67LE (about three and half years old, latest BIOS from 2013).
I created DVD and USB flash bootable media. I faced an elementary problem - I was not able to boot in EFI mode. In BIOS is just one setting to enable EFI boot:
When pressing F8 during system start, it gives this menu:
i.e.DVD boot does not offer UEFI boot, USB boot offers it. When selecting the USB flash boot, BusyBox fails nearly immediately with this: ****** corrected - see below******
When selecting the DVD boot, it seems to work fine but the result is not booting in UEFI (at least if the gold_finger"s guidance is correct) since it shows:
I guess the problem is on the computer bios side. Next try will do with Dell laptop.
= = = = = = = = = = = = == = = = =
Correction: I prepared the USB bootable flash with UNetbootin as usually... which is incorrect (correct is just to copy all the files from .iso to the USB flash memory). After fixing this issue USB UEFI boot works normally. Will continue with testing this.
