Can't call grubx64.efi using startup.nsh in EFI

Question

I installed Deepin 2014.3 on VirtualBox.

When I launched it I got the regular skip startup.nsh message with the counter and the prompt right after it.

My grubx64.efi resides under FS0:\EFI\Deepin 2014.3\, when I tried to call it directly using absolute path it didn't work so I tried putting it in startup.nsh, same result, called it with single and double quotes on both sides, tried escaping the space, still not working.

What can I do in a case where the directory name has space in it?

Answer 1

Solved, All I had to do is to add the storage device by name and double quotes to handle the space character.

Full procedure:

• edit FS0:\startup.nsh
• "FS0:\EFI\Deepin 2014.3\grubx64.efi"
• < ctrl+s >
• Enter
• < ctrl+q >
• reset
• Watch the magic happens.
