Yeah, even as a highly-knowledgeable person, I've had to dig around to
find it in some systems.

One thing I really like about Dell PowerEdge servers and OMSA is the
ability to change firmware settings from within Linux with omconfig.  I
really wish UEFI would include a standard mechanism for that, with all
the "normal" options standardized.
