Greetings, Folks.

I found out that several makers have the "Secure Boot" Functions in their UEFI/BIOS that locks other OSs from being installed.

I understand Ubuntu has a UEFI Compatible Installation Option. OBSD doesn't IIRC.

Disabling the Secure Boot Function on the UEFI/BIOS should allow users to change their Boot Options from UEFI to Legacy(CFM) Boot.

As of this posting, it should work; BUT - for me, I've a new processor which prevents the OS from Booting, so I'll have to post another thread for that.

Thanks!
