[ipxe-devel] Could not find hard disk in EFI mode

[Christian Nilsson]

To bad your firmware don't handle that case well.

As workaround you could start grub or other bootloader that supports hard
drives.
You can even load and start grub from disk via file:// in efi mode, it does
require some more hacks tho. But you will figure those out along the way :)
