None of which will work unless the OP's booted his CD in UEFI mode to start |
| 38 |
with. That means, if his system is like mine, having the CD inserted before |
| 39 |
starting, prodding <DEL> or whatever until the BIOS screen comes up, then |
| 40 |
picking the optical drive in UEFI mode, then booting that. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Then the option to load all files into RAM is not available. |

Also, grub is a total failure on this box: it just isn't detected. So I use |
| 45 |
gummiboot instead. It's also far, far easier to manage if you have more than |
| 46 |
one kernel to choose from, and it saves you having to learn all that |
| 47 |
baroquery. Frankly, I'm glad to see the back of grub-2. |
