-====== Boot - Prevent UEFI Boot Issues ======
-If you installed on a UEFI system you may want to run the following commands before booting into your new installation:
-<code bash>
-efi="/target/boot/efi/EFI"; \
-if [[ -e "${efi}/boot" ]]; then \
-  echo "Backup:"; \
-  mv -v "${efi}/boot/" "${efi}/boot-bak-$(lsb_release -cs)"; \
-fi; \
-echo "Copy:"; \
-cp -va "${efi}/ubuntu" "${efi}/boot"; \
-arch="$(ls -1 {efi}/ubuntu/shim*.efi)"; \
-arch="${arch#*shim}"; \
-arch="${arch%.efi}"; \
-cp -v "${efi}/boot/shim${arch}.efi" "${efi}/boot/boot${arch}.efi";
-</code>
-This will copy Ubuntu's boot files to the default bootloader location and backup any previously existing files.  By doing this you save yourself from headaches caused by non-standards compliant behavior of some UEFI firmwares found on VirtualBox as well as some older HP, Toshiba, Sony and other devices.
