Hello,

Thank you.

The best I can remember is the server I worked on 10 years ago, we could
select Linux, Net64, or Windows at the menu. I may have the
terminology wrong.  Things may have changed in uEFI. I worked in PEI and
DXE phases years ago.

I am waiting on hardware now. I have been using VMWare since you can
replace the uEFI file with your own. I cannot see my logo. Of course there
is no TTY port with VMWare so I can see no debug messages. I am stuck till
I get hardware.

What I am trying to do:: I want to display our logo during the boot of
UEFI, get to the OS boot phase (BDS), then display a message asking for a
password to be used for the OS booting. This is why I am looking into
BdsEntry.c and other files. So I am lost!

By the way, how do I turn on the debug messages? What .h file is the origin
of these macros? Are the messages always on since I build in DEBUG mode. I
search but it is impossible since there are so many hits.
