Bug#853735: installation-guide-amd64: EFI Bootloader problems on some laptop (mainly Toshiba)



Package: installation-guide-amd64
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

there are some problems installing on laptops with broken EFI that can be
worked around by installing the EFI boot loader into a special area.

The installer has support for this in advanced or rescue mode, and I think
this should be documented for users that experience problems.

Related bug reports are #737719 and #708430.
