If there's more than one bootable partition, and the user hasn't specified the one to use (via the commandline), how else is 'os2ldr.efi' supposed to know which one to boot? The partition menu is required for proper operation.

In any case, having it available (e.g. via the "*" menu entry in ANLauncher) allows the user to select a partition that may not be on his bootmanager's menu.

--- Code: ---# This is an entry for ArcaOS 5.1 in UEFI mode
menuentry ArcaOS-5.1 {
    icon \EFI\refind\icons\os_aos.png
    loader \EFI\OS2\OS2LDR.EFI
    options "M:"
}

Works, thank you very much.

Maybe is there a chance to implement such a question when creating a drive "Bootable or not"
