A change to UEFI loader was revert in hrev56377. Was it better with a hrev56376?

Same version here. I tried attaching HDD to SATA and NVME but neither worked for me. Did you leave CDROM attached or are to SATA?

To boot in UEFI i edited config file and add firmware="efi" to it.

I boot from ISO not from HDD.

I finally managed to boot via EFI after I chose EFI VMware Virtual SATA CDROM from VMware Boot manager (accacceble via Esc key).

I wonder why it displayed splash screen at all when I was booting from HDD as it doesn't contain ESP partition with efi loader.
