How to get rid of the second boot menue?

[Sigurd Fastenrath]

I created a second UEFI ArcaOS Type 1 JFS partition to store Data on it. Everything worked as expected, it is visible and usable.

Please see picture one.

But, on every boot, after choosing ArcaOS via rEFInd Boot Manager, the OS/2 Logo appears on the upper left corner, and next some kind of second Boot Menue.

Please see picture two.

As this is some kind of anoying, I would like to get rid of this menu, booting straight into ArcaOS, as it did before I created the partition.

Any ideas?

Help is really appriciated, thank you very much in advance!

Add the drive letter as an option? My rEFInd menu entry for AOS 5.1 on drive M:

Code Select Expand


# This is an entry for ArcaOS 5.1 in UEFI mode
menuentry ArcaOS-5.1 {
    icon \EFI\refind\icons\os_aos.png
    loader \EFI\OS2\OS2LDR.EFI
    options "M:"
}

Danke sehr. I will try it.

Are you using an old or prerelease version of the UEFI ArcaOS boot loader? That menu is part of the loader, but it's been disabled by default in all GA releases.

The menu also appears for me if I have more than one partition and it is a 5.1 GA.

5.1 GA (english)

If there's more than one bootable partition, and the user hasn't specified the one to use (via the commandline), how else is 'os2ldr.efi' supposed to know which one to boot? The partition menu is required for proper operation.

In any case, having it available (e.g. via the "*" menu entry in ANLauncher) allows the user to select a partition that may not be on his bootmanager's menu.

Works, thank you very much.

Maybe is there a chance to implement such a question when creating a drive "Bootable or not"
