45 If your system has UEFI support and you wish to boot LFS with UEFI,
46 you can skip this package in LFS,
47 and install GRUB with UEFI support (and its dependencies) following
48 <ulink url="&blfs-book;postlfs/grub-efi.html">the BLFS page</ulink>
49 at the end of this chapter.

55 GRUB2 with EFI support can be used with some devices, like the
56 Odroid-C2, and maybe others. Two stage loading is done where the
57 first grub.cfg can be found by U-boot, and act as a pointer to
58 the real grub.cfg with the menu. More info may be found at
59 <ulink url="http://rglinuxtech.com/?p=2595">this page</ulink>.
