Description: boot manager for EFI-based computers
A graphical boot manager for EFI- and UEFI-based computers, such as all
Intel-based Macs and recent (most 2011 and later) PCs. rEFInd presents a
boot menu showing all the EFI boot loaders on the EFI-accessible
partitions, and optionally BIOS-bootable partitions on Macs and BIOS boot
- entries on UEFI PCs with CSMs. EFI-compatbile OSes, including Linux,
+ entries on UEFI PCs with CSMs. EFI-compatible OSes, including Linux,
provide boot loaders that rEFInd can detect and launch. rEFInd can launch
Linux EFI boot loaders such as ELILO, GRUB Legacy, GRUB 2, and 3.3.0 and
later kernels with EFI stub support. EFI filesystem drivers for ext2/3/4fs,
# Revision history:
#
+# 0.10.4 -- Improved handling of disks (other than /dev/[sh]d? disks).
# 0.10.2 -- Improved Secure Boot detection in Linux, fixed --usedefault in OS X,
# and fixed bug that could cause mountesp to be installed as a FILE
# called /usr/local/bin in OS X.
# and EspFilesystem the filesystem (always "vfat")
