Boot UEFI CloudReady on ASUS X43U

If BIOS failed to add EFI boot entry to CloudReady automatically after standalone installation, in this case on an ASUS X43U old laptop, do following:

  • Enter BIOS, Boot and select "Add New Boot Option"
  • Enter "Add boot option" and give it a name (like "CloudReady")
  • When you install CloudReady in standalone mode, "Select Filesystem" should have only one option available. Leave it alone
  • In "Path for boot option" type in \efi\boot\bootx64.efi as value
  • Finally select "Create" and then press ESC key back to previous menu
  • Now set "Boot Option #1" to newly created "CloudReady" entry
