Hello, this is the first time I participate in a mailing list.
Today I attempted installing Fedora Workstation on a friend's computer and there were some peculiar quirks to the process. - Anaconda-installer asked me for a 2MB boot partition - the resulting install had no /sys/firmware/efi. Fedora was supposed to share the machine with an existing Windows10 install thru UEFI not BIOS.
Turns out, his EFI partition is on /dev/sda2, while /dev/sda1 is some ms recovery system bloat. This makes scripts like os-prober unhappy (according to logs) and makes the system believe it's MBR because the fiilelsystem format of assumed /dev/sda1 does not match. We discovered this when we realised that Windows won't show as a grub entry no matter what.
Now I could alter the partition table with sfdisk(8), to make /dev/sda1 point at the EFI partition, but I'm hoping you guys know a less hacky way (with grub itself maybe).
altering Windows partitions is not something he's comfortable with, while reinstalling Fedora is not a problem (he still hasn't made it his own).
Thanks!
