| 3 | A new replacement of the BIOS has emerged called UEFI.

|

| 5 | Depending on the boot mode you use (UEFI or BIOS), mondo and mindi will have te behave accordingly.
|
|---|
| 6 | Depending of your choice, software configuration, you may also use GPT or MBR as a file table format. Refer to README.ia64 for more details on how mondo and mindi deal with that.

| 8 | If when booting in UEFI mode on a system, the current media made doesn't boot automatically, in order to restore your system, you'll have to go on the UEFI shell and do something like the following:
|
|---|
| 9 |
|
|---|
| 10 | Shell> FS0:
|
|---|
| 11 | FS0:\> CD EFI
|
|---|
| 12 | FS0:\EFI\> CD BOOT
|
|---|
| 13 | FS0:\EFI\BOOT\> grub
|
|---|
| 14 |
|
|---|
| 15 | This supposes that your D is seen as first media, which can be confirmed using the map command at UEFI shell prompt.
|
|---|
| 16 |
|
|---|
| 17 | Then you'll be at the standard boot menu to restore your system with the choice of options.
|
|---|
| 18 | You'll have to respect the case used in the example upper.
|
|---|
| 19 |
|
|---|
| 20 | For now, MondoRescue doesn't invoke efibootmgr to recreate menu entries, so you'll have to recreate them manually for now.
|
|---|
| 21 | We also do not support Secure Boot yet. So you'll have to boot the MondoRescue media with it disabled.
