Minisforum MS-R1 ARM Mini Workstation running Linux: BIOS

Boot Manager Menu

Boot Manager Menu

Besides booting to a UEFI shell, the other two entries are more interesting.

The first entry is the 1TB MVMe that came with the MS-R1 which has Debian 12 pre-installed.

The final entry starting UEFI Asmedia T-FORCE M2000 is a very fast USB external storage. If I select that line and press Enter, I can boot into a different operating system.

These entries are automatically created and mean that it’s easy to experiment with the MS-R1 without affecting my main image. The USB external storage device didn’t, of course, come with the machine.
