    Hello All,

    I am trying to get Suse 12.3 to run on a Sony SVS1512 (2013) with Windows 8 as dualboot. Steps I performed:

    1) Installed Windows 8 pro in UEFI mode - works fine
    2) Installed Suse 12.3 from DVD in UEFI mode with seperate FAT boot/efi partition
    3) Added an entry for Suse in the Windows bootmanager with EasyBCD
    4) Edited with bcdedit the configuration to change the path to /EFI/opensuse/grubx64.efi

    and here comes my problem:

    the partition for the /boot/eti partition has NO drive letter - therfore I can't set it with bcdedit.

    Does anyone have a hint for me?

    Thank you already,

    Intclimb
