<div dir="ltr">Thanks guys - I managed to get farther, apparently the option to Network boot doesn't show up in the list unless the network is plugged in (a bit quirky, but I'll take it).<div><br></div><div>Now I'm working on getting GRUB to work, it's how we're using the original MinnowBoard (with a grub-mkimage output of type i386-efi, i've switched that to x86_64-efi, but no luck).

The boot order is changable from the firmware:<br>

<br>
Hit F2 during bootup, or if you can get to the UEFI shell type exit.<br>
<br>
There's a group internally that had the board network booting (I believe<br>
with UEFI vs. PXE) but I haven't done it myself, so I don't have exact<br>
steps. If you need I can probably do something and get that setup and a<br>
howto written (but it might take a bit to do)<br>
