Hello! Backgound:
On a very new system i can't enable legacy boot for internal drives. :-( So i have to enable UEFI boot on an installed legacy boot system. The installed image i would like to use has a /boot/loader64.efi I copied this to the ESP partition as BOOTX64.efi, added it manually to the uefi boot menu (i didn't work now but that is work in progress for me) Surprise A different OI host has a /boot/boot64.efi file. This file is of Oct 25, last pkg update to the system was maybe in Nov. Question: Why is the file on the older system, and not on the othe system with an update about 1 week old?
