Hi all, even though I have been parrt of this newsgroup for years I
am still not an expert and have doubt... First time I tried to
install Mageia9 on a Dual Boot machine I had a problem with the
/boot/uefi...
Used Custom partition and kept the existing partition I had in
Mageia8...
... during installation when trying to create a mount point for
/boot/uefi as requested, when I clicked the scroll down menu there
was no such option on the list, did not know what to do so I
click on Linux native and was given the chance to type myself '
/boot/uefi ' and kept the same size.
This UEFI partition is a bit strange. The UEFI distributions I install
ask for a /boot/efi partition.

n fact I was not sure about the whole outcome...so given that it was a freshly new installation I decided to reinstall again, this time paying
more attentions...

Most likely the installer was booted in bios compatibility mode theInstalling_on_systems_with_UEFI_firmware#How_to_distinguish_between_UEFI_and_BIOS_mode_for_Mageia_boot_media
first time,
so it would not have asked for an efi partition.
