What do you mean "would not load"? From the live ISO? |

I had no such problem here on a bare metal install (no Windows) with |
| 32 |
sysrescuecd. You have to make sure the sysrescuecd is booting in UEFI mode |
| 33 |
before you proceed with the installation. |

I am booting without a boot loader straight from UEFI as this not a multiboot |
| 42 |
system. So, unless I interrupt it pressing F2 to get into UEFI menu, it will |
| 43 |
boot into the default OS image, which is the latest I have setup with |
| 44 |
efibootmgr. |
