As per a previous thread I acquired a used laptop. HP Elitebook 8470p. After an install issue, I tried to create a dual boot but failed, I let the installer take the whole disk. Post install I rebooted but "No bootable medium". So I booted back into the live stick and chrooted in and "grub-install" and "update-grub", rebooted and still "No bootable Medium". No errors reported. I used the live usb again but booted into the installed system. From the installed system, as root, I run "grub-install" and "update-grub" but still no boot. Again, no errors. I booted into the bios to see if there was anything that would prevent a boot but no luck. I did notice though that F9 will bring me to the boot menu and siduction is on the list. If I select it I can boot into the installed system without issue. Great news! So back into the installed system and check efibootmgr.
root@hp8470p:/home/dan# efibootmgr
BootCurrent: 0000
Timeout: 0 seconds
BootOrder: 0000
Boot0000* siduction
Boot0006* Windows Boot Manager
Great, It at least shows up on the list. I tried to see if I could get it to boot on it's own on the next boot/reboot "efibootmgr -n 0000" and it booted fine into the installed system with any interaction from me. So my question is, How can I get it to boot on it's own?
