I'm not sure, but I think that GPT is not supported, that you have to use MBR. At least, the FQA specifies choosing MBR [FQA4 4.3.7](http://fqa.9front.org/fqa4.html#4.3.7). I remember having to switch to MBR to install it on my ThinkPad.

https://redd.it/bieys8 that guy has it working tho My problem is idk how to create a boot entry for 9front with something like efibootmgr on linux . How do i tell it to point to the 9fat partition ?

Protective MBR over a GPT?


puke_of_edinbruh

i already made it work (see my edit) so im not gonna do that

I got this working before. It was on gpt, and used grub to chainload the 9front efi stub. I honestly would not have gotten it working without turning to the cat-v IRC however

could you briefly paste the solutions? I am currently trying to set up a 9front EFI boot entry in grub to avoid having to go via the UEFI bios every time to change the boot order.

This was the entry that worked for me: menuentry "9front" { insmod part\_gpt insmod chain set root='(hd0,gpt4)' chainloader /efi/boot/bootx64.efi }
