It is a Raspberry Pi. It is an ARM computer, not an x86 PC. The Pi does not use EFI; it does not use a bootloader at all. The system is controlled by the VideoCore GPU which runs the Microsoft ThreadX RTOS and after that boots, the GPU loads the Arm OS from a FAT32 partition then starts the Arm and passes it the OS image as a payload. > efibootmgr shows you that in case you booted in EFI mode. No, not on a Pi. -- Liam Proven ~ lproven@sitpub.com Open Source Reporter, the Register ~ https://www.theregister.com/ Isle of Man tel: +44 7624 227612 ~ UK tel: +44 7939 087884 (*not* 24x7) Czech tel: +420 702 829 053 (also WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal)help
