Re: [PATCH 1/3] MdeModulePkg/PartitionDxe: Put the UDF check ahead of MBR

["Gao, Zhichao" <zhichao.gao@intel.com>]

OK. I would put the detail in next version patch. Let me put a sample here:

With patch #3 but without patch #1, the MBR table of ISO 9660 image can be handled correctly, i.e. it would be treat as MBR block device. We can find the bootable image thru MBR path FAT filesystem. When boot Linux Distribution, it comes into the grub console instead of the installation selection.

Thanks,
Zhichao
