Is it possible to boot linux or other non-Microsoft operating system with the Windows boot manager on a UEFI box? And, if so, how?
The documentation on BCDEDIT seems opaque. The documentation at the EasyBCD site does not seem to mention this case, as far as I could see.
I know about BOOTSECTOR, and how to use that for booting another system in legacy BIOS mode. I would like to find out if it is possible to do the equivalent in UEFI mode, where boot sectors are not normally used.
At present, I do have the linux boot manager (grub2-efi) able to boot Windows, though I have to disable secure boot for that to work. I would like to find out how to do it the other way; that is, to set Window 8 as the primary system and have a boot menu there which allows me to select linux.
