OK, TY. As I said, this is the first time I read about different
_directives_ support between BIOS vs. UEFI variants (except perhaps for
known bugs and regressions).
Is this difference a bug? Was it supposed / expected to be supported in
UEFI too? Or is it that the method / implementation / protocol /
conditions / whatever being used to repeat the request for files is not
the same under UEFI than it is for BIOS?
Should an enhancement request be opened in bugzilla.syslinux.org ? Is
it really necessary for this particular case?
TIA,
Ady.
