All the uefi stuff is on a fat filesystem. I would think that something |
| 12 |
that fundamental (and universally supported) is embedded in the bios. The |
| 13 |
grub bootloader itself is on that fat filesystem, and it must have loaded |
| 14 |
or else I wouldn’t have access to the grub edit facility. So I think I’m |
| 15 |
ok on file system support. |

Grub documentation says it does have tab completion. But the file names, |
| 27 |
uuids, and other things prone to typos that I referenced are generated by |
| 28 |
grub, so typos are unlikely to be an issue. And I’ve checked them |
| 29 |
meticulously. They look ok. |

Maybe I’d be less frustrated by this new mobo if I did the same! ;) |
