** Attachment added: "install.log"

** Also affects: curtin
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Description changed:

  While verifying MAAS 2.9.0b1 I noticed that NVRAM variables are not
  being written. MAAS does not set this variable and according to the docs
  it should be set to true by default[1]. Without NVRAM being written the
- UEFI boot order isn't modified. If MAAS is down while a deployed machine
- reboots this may cause the machine to be unable to reboot.
+ UEFI boot order isn't modified and no new entry is added for the
+ deployed OS. If MAAS is down while a deployed machine reboots this may
+ cause the machine to be unable to reboot.
