Or later, with the festive season? In the meantime I added four shots to the album. With the boot maintenance manager of VirtualBox, I navigated to loader.efi, added it as a boot option (I lazily named it 'loader.efi') then set it as primary after which: * normal resets or restarts of the VM do successfully boot – and if I change the boot order to make 'EFI Hard Drive' primary and 'loader.efi' last, boots fail (drop outs to the EFI shell). and it appears that 'EFI Hard Drive' and 'EFI DVD/CDROM' have the same path. Surely wrong, I can think of nothing that might have caused this. Graham
