Just realized I didn't actually answer the question you asked. The answer is No; or I have yet to find a way. There are people working on it for FreeBSD https://wiki.freebsd.org/SecureBoot but as you will see they have not got very far. Windows 8 will boot with secure boot off -- at lease on x86 platforms for now. So I'd tell the owner to just shut it off. I don't think I had to do anything to the already installed Windows 8 to switch it on and off. Swap out or copy the HD and test if you are worried since Lenovo doesn't provide media or an easy way to reinstall if you hose the drive. I bought a second HD and threw the Windows 8 drive in a box in case I get rid of the thing down the road. -- | _ ASCII Ribbon Eric S Pulley | ( ) Campaign Against <[email protected] | X HTML Mail | / \ www.asciiribbon.org
