All installs have to be in same boot mode UEFI or BIOS. Or you have to directly boot from one time UEFI boot menu. Once you start to boot, you cannot change, or grub can only boot other installs in same boot mode.oldfred– oldfred2025-05-05 14:55:43 +00:00Commented May 5 at 14:55

@oldfred I have not consciously chosen UEFI anywhere, I have kept the /dev/sda1 to install rEFInd later, following people reviews, but I have doubt about the /dev/sda6 which I was forced to create by OpenBSD installer. Cant OpenBSD operate from a single partition like Linux and FreeBSD?Spandan– Spandan2025-05-05 15:28:16 +00:00Commented May 5 at 15:28

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. shell-script), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
