The "internal" detection method of refind also works, but I am using
manual here.  When I have a usable system (I am still working on the the
touchscreen - interestingly it works fine in rEFInd) I'll restore secure
boot, go back to internal detection and recover the now useless /boot
partition. Going on my prior experience using an apple air laptop with
rEFInd this will be much simpler and easier to maintain than grub2.

This is what works:



bunyip ~ # grep -v \# /boot/efi/EFI/refind/refind.conf
