Hello,
Trying to do a setup of some servers, and they all have UEFI options, and I'd like to install (Via Seed file) to the EFI partition. Can't seem to figure out how though. I can create legit Fat32 partitions that are 256meg in size for UEFI to use, but I'm not sure in the seed file syntax how to make these partitions UEFI-able via Seed file only. I've attached a portion of my seed file below for perusal.
Thanks in Advance.
