UEFI: Difference between revisions

The (U)EFI system does not look for a boot sector, instead it looks for a file located on a [[FAT]] formatted disk. The system looks for a file in an approved directory. For the most part all (U)EFI implementations look for the file /EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI. In the case of Apple, apple has modified the firmware to support HFS+. In apple computers a file is "Blessed" with the ability to boot from a certain file.
